Confidence

Confidence coats the back of my eyes.

Making my eyes noticeable, and happy.

Confidence is folded in my brain.

Like dough that is soft and rises.

Confidence is like hair.

That needs to be brushed, and brushed everyday.

And still gets messy sometimes.

And still falls away sometimes.

Separation.

It’s a cycle of joy and separation.

That’s the secret.

That’s the secret that falls from my head.
