Confidence Poems
Prison
by Shira Yovel
Static. Elongated. Loud. Present. Clear.
Piercing. Slow. Sharp.
An existence.
Stuck in the middle of nothing.
Nothing being the space

Well Played
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I was a hopeful actress, but so far had only been offered bit parts,
And I fought to pay the bills, as a starlit owl, working after dark.
But because I had such huge dreams, I had been struggling for years,
Like a heart brimming with big emotions, is holding back the tears!
I knew I was an amazing actress, yet there were many others like me,
Making it quite hard to choose, like selecting cherries from a tree.
And there were times when I wondered, if I'd ever hit the big time,

Skinny Legs
by Sharon Morgan
My skinny legs, my skinny legs
Echoes of my childhood days
With legs like broomsticks
And taunts along the way
Boys will be boys,
Always teasing little girls
I know I was there
As there was nowhere else to go

Starlight
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I had lately been in the career doldrums, for I was an aspiring, eager actress,
Like lavish summer blossoming rampantly, in wild, passionate distractedness.
I'd enjoyed a few triumphant successes, still, they were few and far between,
Like violet nights of shooting stars, as you wonder where that magic's been!
I guess it may seem I was being unwise, but I was chasing a precious dream,
Like blooms, failing to soak up the sun, soak up precious, ivory moonbeams.
It's not that I was innately morose, indeed, I had a sunny, happy disposition,

Confidence is the only key
by Khushi Mehra
Breathe the fresh air
Let down your hair
Put your mind at ease
Hear the sound of breeze
Scream until everything’s fine
But don’t let your confidence decline
Let go of what brings you down
Open your eyes to a new dawn

Lovely Mirror
by Girly Virgo ♍
Looking in the mirror we just see ourselves.
I mean, I thought that's what mirrors were meant to show.
But for her it's not just that.
I think she sees more than her reflection.

Whispers of Self-Discovery: Rewriting the Narrative
by Lea-Pearl Njei
I walk with a regal grace, chest lifted high,
A face radiant, capturing every wandering eye.
Curiosity dances in the air, whispers and stares,
They all crave to know the tale that my presence declares.
Some approach with kind wishes, others with intent to break,
But I meet their efforts with laughter, for what's a smile but a fleeting take?
Yet as I retreat to my room's cocoon of solitary,
I realize my aloneness, my facade of confidence now temporary.
