they say overconfidence is" a literally a sin "
i think it's a strategy
i say it protection
it's a coping mechanism
look around who talks down about the confident girl to her face
...
no one
have you ever stopped to think "why ?"
"she's always so proud"
have you stopped to see her zone out to convince herself ?...
to tell herself she is that girl
don't bother trying to mess with her ego
we come in two forms
the ones who will knock you right down
and...
the ones who stumble
mumble ...
and soon crumble
that's me
we'll convince ourselves
"it's alright "
"don't worry it's cool"
while my mind screams something else
" they hate me "
"they wish i didn't come here "
"they think I'm hideous"
it's not every tree you cut down
not every anthill you crumble.
