Her stance
gives off an aura
of power

Her voice
projects to the corners
of the room

Should I be intimidated?
Or should I be amazed?
Something about him was different.
The way he could always make her come back was a mystery. The way he could make her feel bad when she hadn't done wrong. The way he lived life like it was a hip hop rap song. The way he carried himself, maybe it was wrong. The way he could carelessly move right on. The way he did things were different. He was confident, that was a given.
Look I only met the girl
But she inspired me so
How confidently hilarious
How beautifully goofy
This isn't an in love poem
But more as a general love
A love for this glow she has
She seems so bright with joy
And confident in everything
And I was confused at how
This girl could be so weird
But so pretty in my eyes
And I figured out that her beauty
Is her confidence
I use the word no
As a tool
Of self-empowerment
Saying it
Just to stand strong
Not giving in
Setting boundaries
Where I please
Allowing myself to consider
I realize that I
Have options beyond measure
No reason to settle
My standards don't
Seem so high
Since I've learned to treasure
Myself
I make things
On my own terms
Why set limits
Starstruck when our eyes meet
Electricity goes right through me
Nothing compares to this
This is the sweetest
Most precious
Sense of happiness
In your heart, I find peace
In your eyes, I see sense
In us, I find confidence
Confidence in true love
Confidence in trust
Confidence in worth
Confidence of all sorts

Glide your fingers down the railing
As you make your grand ingression
Meeting the faces you are destined to meet
As they fasten their first impressions

You are one to worry what they think
And wonder how or why
But, know that they have trained themselves
To create facades and alibis

They would be just as scared as you
If they were the ones walking down that stair
So hold your head up high, my dear
As if you did not care
Just a note to myself that everyone feels like this
I'm very much comfortable being alone
I enjoy nothing more than my own
Company
Happily free to do what I want and tend to myself
My confidence is built only by the way I view myself
Yes my loved ones opinions count but which one matters most than your own?
Yes it's nice to have a lover or date
But you have to learn to be happy with yourself
Before your even happier with someone else
I'm not sure if this is even a poem but here's something to think about(; don't ever think you need a boyfriend/girlfriend to keep your happiness. Love yourself before anyone else.
Like a steady stream
That trickles through the forest,
I will persevere.
Though my journey is unknown,
I know I’ll reach the ocean.
