Confidence is key
In oh so many ways
Much more than with
The things you do.
Walk tall, stand still,
Be open and direct.
Show them all
That you are completely
Unafraid.
Don’t fidget, look around or gabble on.
Don’t show your anxious self.
Speak slowly, with pause
And show you are assured and calm.
For confidence is like a virus,
Spreading out throughout the room,
Infecting all
With that assertion
That You
Are Number One.
If only I myself was brought up this way,
Who knows what I’d have done?
But better late than never,
As they say.
Let’s start,
By being tall,
And cutting out
That slouch.
But remember,
Never compare:
Treat everyone as equal,
Never be arrogant:
Be gently assertive.
