Source of Confidence

April 21, 2010 - 11:27

Does it come from your looks?
Is it your flawlessly built body?
Is it how well you hit the books?
Or that you're good and rarely naughty?

Is it all about what you did?
Might it be your potential and what you could do?
How well you keep your true self hid?
Maybe you're not not like most and one of the few?

Your never ending supply of ambition?
Your innate ability to adapt?
That you never give in to rendition?
Or the fact that you haven't relapsed?

Maybe it's your unique and impressive style?
Is it how much love you can give?
Your willingness to go the extra mile?
Being able to rise above and live?

Your fame before it does recess?
Do you care how much money you make?
Or your employment success?
Leaving accomplished goals in your wake?

Is it because you always help others?
Are your family ties strong?
Is everyone your sister and brother?
True friends to understand your wrong?

Do you always smell like cologne?
Your children are your world, your light?
You do well being all alone?
Material possessions show your might?

Did you buy some expensive vessels?
Did you build an appreciation of art?
Can you always make do from will?
Or are you forever young at heart?

With yourself do you always wrestle?
Is the source of your confidence real?
What makes you feel really special?
Or is it a fix until your next happy meal?
