Confidence

Confidence Poem Lionel Derbyshire A waste of wonder time In camouflage Will wear you down. No pace , less value It does not comfort you Like a warm eiderdown. Time waste You drown standing. Rapid roots grow In your boots. In a worthless place Where it is only space Here .. there .. everywhere. You are at sea Confused and smoked And can't swim. You scratch a leaf And puff in an ashtray And call it achieve? Scared you want The phone to ring Your ambitions are Now detained. No confidence And the lack Will break you down. A rattlesnake calls And say Time for change ! The decoy Means no blessing It's repulsion .. The snake Will try grace And waste your ear space. Then slither back To it's cave After burying you under Once upon In womb time You wore the crown. With faith and confidence A bountiful reminder You all you have. It is you have. Confidence.. Now try There is still flesh On your bone It's up to you. It is on you It's all about you.
