Confidence

I’m in love with the woman of my dreams, 

The problem is that I can’t seem To hold on to her, 

She comes and goes like seasons, 

But I feel like at times, 

she’s been corrupted by others’ thoughts and views, 

and disregards the things that I believe in, 

and When I wake up in the mornings, 

I see her smiling at me in the mirror, 

but as I wipe the sleep out of my eyes and take a second look, 

I realize that she was never even here,  

see I’m in love with the woman of my dreams, 

and when I’m finally around her, 

She brightens my day like 8:00 a.m., 

she  cleans my wounds when the world beats me down, 

she soothes my heart as it races towards anxiety, 

she holds my hand firmly, 

as my mind starts to wander and overthink, 

She gives me energy like the pre-workout I take, 

to help me lift  The weight that sits heavy on my mind, 

preparing for her to leave again, 

See my mind plays tricks on me when I see her with somebody else, 

because I knew she wouldn’t be here forever, 

And even though she is not with me at the moment, 

and I’ll get her back, 

and I’ll welcome her with open arms and hold her so tight, 

that not even the jaws of life could tear us apart, 

I’m in love with the woman of my dreams and her name is confidence and hopefully she’ll stay a little longer next time.
