confidence

I'm not the gray stain on your shirt.
I'm not the girl that makes you hurt.
I'm not the one that cannot cry.
I can look straight in your eye.
I'm stronger every day that's born,
Smarter every day that's worn,
Wiser than I was before,
Not a loser, not a bore.
If you can't see that I am me,
That I'm all that I want to be,
I know my skin and know my tears
I know my hopes, my dreams, my fears,
Than maybe you should leave me be,
Watch me while I walk the streets,
Your quick stare and jealous smirk
Can no longer make me hurt.
Say your words and I will smile,
I am strong, you're in denial.
Take my hand so you can stand,
I have no heart to push you down.
I'm all that I want to be,
I can do and I can see.
Take your hand and I'll caress,
Gently on your soft pink flesh,
Comfort in the form of take,
Confidence is for your sake.
