Self-Confidence
There's a pain
you have created in me,
it's a pain that
most cannot see.
The pain is here,
and will always be,
the pain I feel,
I wish would flee.
There's a fear
you have created in me,
a fear I know you
cannot see,
this fear will
live inside of me,
until the day you
set it free.
There's a voice
crying out inside of me,
a voice that begs
you to look and see,
until you speak
your words to me,
my self-confidence
can never be.
