Confidence Poem by A Voice Within

Confidence
-Alycia

All people have abilities with weaknesses and strengths,
They build them up and over time increase them by great lengths.
But there is a power from within, more troublesome than any mess,
With power and strength great enough to shut out happiness.
A veil of discomfort, a wave of rejection, a voice that drags you down,
A sleepless malice in disguise, like a terrorist dressed as a clown.
When released from within its owner it affects his friends and neighbors,
It wears them out and wears them down, like painful endless labors.
Yet still inside there is hope for all to withstand this treacherous power,
A vast energy, a radiant spell, an evil banishing shower.
It brings love and peace, the warmth of fleece, with joy to fill our hearts,
A never-ending happiness that spreads throughout our parts.
It's confidence that empowers us to achieve our lifetime goals,
Our hopes and dreams, or so it seems, to fill the gaps within our souls.
