Confidence

Hold your head up high
Keep your shoulders square
Walk through the crowd like a winner
Smile and nod when you see them stare

Be brave and courageous
Never ask God why
He knows exactly what's He's doing
You'll never win if you never try

Prepare with a determined mind
Just do what you set out to do
Because at the end of the day
Your attitude is what defines you

No, it isn't about circumstances
The harder the climb, the better the story
Yes, it's hard - but it's true
If you don't have the guts, you won't have the glory

You can trust me, it's rough but it'll be worth it
Even when things around you don't make sense
Look for a way and make your opportunity
Believing you can and knowing you will....that's Confidence

and a warm welcome to Neopoet.
Your first submission doesn't tell that you're a rookie as you've stated in your profile. :)
I enjoyed reading your piece especially the last stanza and the last line sums up all so well.
Wishing to read more of your pen.
Thank you for sharing.

it is great to have another positive voice here at neopoet! remember, you can also find support here, when you are of need. I like your poem. These thoughts that you have expressed, were my Mantra many years back. when I took a two year course in electronics and graduated with my class. I have my associates degree, and an FCC license. I really am a sucker for a great success story! welcome to Neopoet. I look forward to reading more of your posts ;)

I really liked the rhythm and rhyme. It’s loose enough but also very structured. Has a pretty natural flow to it and as such was a breeze to read. Definitely liked the theme.

Hi, thanks for the comment! I was going for it being loose but the flow being easy to follow. I appreciate the encouragement!
