Confidence Part 2

afraid to be who i am

because what if no one likes me

why am i so scared?

because i'm afraid of losing what i have with people

what's to lose?

everything

why do i place my self worth into other people's hands?

because i don't see all the good others seem to see

why am i waiting until someone accepts or rejects me?

cause i know it will happen sooner or later and i'm preparing for it now

you are worthy

am i?

why do you downplay your achievements?

what achievements?

why do you sell yourself short?

because i feel like i deserve that

will people cease to find what's special about me?

was there anything special to begin with?
