Confidence

by Larry Green   Mar 18, 2006


Long ago
I vowed never to show any emotion
But only my devotion to the future
And who I will be
Ill cast my past behind me
Cuz it blinds me of where Im goin
Away from that run down Cadillac
So Ill never look back
Cuz it distracts me from the now
Cuz Im so proud
That my body shuts down
And the words just cant come out of my mouth
When I think of who I once was
Rejecting and disrespecting everyone who use to be
Confident in me
Cant you see why I wanted to just quit
Give up on this shit
And thats what they did
They gave up on me
Because you see I didnt want to be alive
To thrive or strive
And all I did was deprive myself of everyones confidence
And since then nobody believed in me
Success was not plausible
Cuz I was uncontrollable
But now Im unstoppable
Cuz I believed in me
And then achieved more than anyone thought possible
Just remember to never give up today
Or youll be in dismay because of the sorrow
Of not knowing what tomorrow might bring to you
I would know

    You seem very fluent in expressing your thoughts on paper.
    I liked the rhythm of this poem. The combination of its
    Simplicity, your honesty, the good choice of words and
    The meaning within it( that we shouldn’t give up and we
    Should have confidence in ourselves) add to the beauty
    of this poem. I enjoyed reading this Larry especially the
    beginning and there when you say “ success was not
    plausible. Cuz I was uncontrollable but now I’m
    unstoppable Cuz I believed in me.” Yup, I loved
    that^^^ part.
    May you be as happy as I am today ; )
