i have long since desired to "be somebody", for i already am. 
sometimes confidence escapes me, as if it were carbon dioxide. 
positive prompting enforced by words from a friend down the street, or across the country may be what keeps us all going when the coldness of doubt creates hesitant characteristics. 
as i get lost in thoughts, i want to guarantee that i am not alone. 
but a guarantee might just be an unfulfilling word in this false advertising world. 
an outside perspective is often necessary, even when isolation can give the impression of trumping solidarity. 
After all my decisions are the one and only true responsibility 
learning to have have faith, and performing my actions with assertive behavior is indeed something i need to work on.
