I look into the confidence mirror
and only see someone who is confident.
I see someone who is brave.
I see someone who is trying so hard.
I see someone who laughs and is a winner.
Not Winna.

No, I am mirroring confidence.
I look into the confidence mirror
and I see someone who is well liked.
I see someone who is smart.
I see someone who is good looking.
I see someone who can fight.
I see someone who is successful.
I see someone who is courageous.

When I look in the confidence mirror
I see a good writer.
I see someone who is trying to fight demons.
I see someone who is loved by many.
I see someone who is in complete control
of emotions, of his heartbeat, his soul.

When I look in the confidence mirror
I see someone who is beautiful.
I see someone who is sexy.
I see someone who is intelligent.

Why was that so hard to write?
