Best Confident Poems
Tentative Dancer
Do I choose to join, this Poetic Dance
To reveal my soul, to take this chance
I am left to wonder, who will care
If my life is charmed, or full of despair
I release my emotions, to the page
The good the sad, the parts with rage
The pen gets started, revealing each part
A stitched together, healed broken heart
Like many a writer, I am a bleeder
Revealing my secrets, to you the reader
My only hope, is that you have time
To see yourself, in the words I rhyme
Because without you, there is no dance
You are the reason, I take this chance
A dance with a stranger, one two three
Perhaps at the end, you will know me
Confident Dancer
I'm glad I chose to join you in Poetic dance
Thank you for giving my clumsy a chance
No longer will I wonder if you truly care
You share your beauty and masterful flare
Together we do our Rumba on a spotless page
For the textured surface is inspiration's stage
As we move in unison I feel your wonderous heart
Thanks for being at one with me within our art
We move together lost in rhyme and meter
Not wanting to leave anything from our reader
If they explore long enough perhaps within time
We will all be joined in this dance so sublime
Yes it can be scary taking a chance
Yet what would life be without the dance
No longer stranger, ink drips one two three
By knowing you, I have come to know me!
Some people like keeping up with the Joneses
I do not know any Joneses who could keep up with me
So I have elected to keep up with the gnomes
How absurdly difficult could that task be?
I like wearing leggings, and I have no height
I love gardens, faerie houses,and toadstools you see.
I am pretty confident I can keep up until FFFT!
They begin rapidly disappearing in front of me.
I scrunch up my face, and concentrate ridiculously hard.
What about keeping up with faeries? Fairies begin to giggle.
I have not giggled in a long long time, annoying my own petard.
How about a dragon fly, I think as I begin my wing-trying-out wiggle.
Moving up one's journey uphill,
Though for many a soul a thrill,
Is a scary endless struggle
Verging on a daily battle.
One may expect thorns on the way
And a scorching sun through the day,
One may witness wild winds uphill
With not a spot oneself to shield;
One may expect rough, rugged roads
With no single voice one to goad,
One may expect to face a cliff
Or down a precipice to slip;
One may expect blows from vile men
Or a stab on the back from friends,
Envious of one's seat to take
Or eager to snarl at one's fate.
Moving alone up a steep hill
Calls for zeal, power of the will
Courage coupled with bravery
And the gem of divine mercy.
When our path is shrouded with doubt
Let us give a positive shout
To clear away any dark cloud
That of ourselves we may be proud;
When along a road we do fall,
Let us surely rise after all,
Pursue our journey till the end
With spirit of a real man.
When the top of the hill seems far
Let us think of the distant star
Some billions of light years' away
Shedding light to brighten our way;
Let our end goal be the hilltop,
Instead of a slippery slope,
Gaze at the distant horizon
Where emerges the rising sun.
She is assertive.
When she does not want to do
something, she lets you know.
She honors herself.
Her heart shows her the way.
She listens to her inner voice.
She is 13, and confident.
She cannot be cajoled, swayed, or lured.
She is her own person, following her path.
Making choices that delight herself, and no one but.
She is a dynamo.
On a clear course.
She has met no one who can fool her.
I pray she never does.
Dancing in an uninhibited way,
Glorying in her self-truth
She had no idea she was intimidating
Almost every girl her age,
Not caring a whit about the opinions
Of ones who are not magically in touch
With themselves.
Two teenagers attempted to bully her.
To taunt her, to make fun.
They were not well received.
Two of her good friends began to dance
With her.
Pretty soon the whole dance floor was
Full of uninhibited dancer.
She had unintentionally become a leader.
Unaware, she gave them happy smiles.
Her friends were dragging others onto the dance floor.
Pretty soon all of the girls except two were dancing.
The boys watched from the shadows. Amazed.
They had never realized what fun a dance could be.
None of them went out there.
Most were twelve and thirteen,
Not actualized yet.
Don’t quit writing… keep your pen rolling.
There are poetic angels here, who keep you going!
Even if you can only comment to five poets a day,
Live your life, too, do not let poetry steal your days.
I create poems, the only way I possibly can..
I choose not to comment to the entire family of man.
But….if you can….I encourage you to go for it.
Find what works for you, and swim in the joy of it!
I/19/2021
I refuse to sabotage my future,
I refuse to have self-doubt
I refuse to believe that I'm useless
From the depths of darkness, God brought me out.
You see, God is the source of where my strength lies
and small beginnings, I shall not despise.
I stand with boldness, knowing my God is real
The Confident Woman has now been revealed
Failures and uncertainty tried to hinder my path
By reminding my thoughts of my frozen laughs
But today is the day that I stand here and say
This Confident Woman is well on her way
I started life as
A grain of sand,
But knew I’d find
A way to expand,
And always being
A bit of a rebel,
I joined with others
And became a pebble,
And as I grew
And then took stock,
I then realised
I had become a rock,
And as I become more
Confident and grow older,
I wonder if I’ll become -
A little boulder?
Joseph had died
and a new Hebrew king did come
But the Israelites were so frustrated and tired
Of being under the proverbial gun
The Pharoah the head Egyptian in charge
Then made a decision
He order all of the midwives
To go out and do a kill mission
But the midwives who were women of God
Defied this horrifying request
As it went against everything they believed in
Which is sacred and blessed
And because Shiprah and Puah the two women who
Embraced their civil disobediency
Hebrew genocide was prevented
And Moses lived to give his people the victory
Embrace your calling
By being confident in your position
To have an attitude of such magnitude
In fulfilling your mission
Allowing nothing and no one
To set you apart
From the purpose and the promise
That God has placed in your heart
Embrace your calling
By being audacious, brave and cocksure
About your destiny
And what for you God has in store
Now standing courageous
Unshakeable and bold
Only doing that which
By the Holy Spirit you've been told
To not follow the dictates
Of petty and evil men
Trusting in the Lord God
To always give you the win
Embrace your calling
By staying faithful and true
To the direction and design
That God has determined for you
EMBRACE YOUR CALLING
Women have been battered and abused
Since day one
Systemic domestic violence
We are so done
A movement has started #me too
That has opened up the doors
To shine a light and give a voice to those
Who say "I ain't gonna take it no more"
No longer will women be silent
Not passive in their behavior
Dauntless and determined
Like Jesus The Christ our Saviour
It's time for all women to step up
To be bold and speak out loud
That freedom ain't free
Our lives do matter, no longer to be enshroud
Striking a blow for freedom
Against our oppression
Righteous indignation
We are so now stressing
Now focused on what we have
And not what we don't
Letting our faith empower us
Falling back we no longer won't
Faithful, fearless and fighting just to be free
No more abuse, no more battery
Destined for greatness we've always known
That one will always reap whatever one sows
Now as daring women of impact
Confident, courageous and called
Striking a blow for freedom
Our hands fisted and balled
For with God before us victory is guaranteed
Feisty and forceful yeah that's We
And like the mighty Alpine ibex goat
We will climb and scale new heights
Up the rough side of the mountain
With only one goal in sight
To eradicate our abusers
By any means at all
Women of impact # not me too
Confident,courageous and called
Stepping out on faith
Trusting in the God we all love and know
And symbolically like Jael with hammer in hand
For freedom we'll strike a blow
Striking a blow for freedom
Decisive we now act
We are women liberators
We are women of impact
Wish I was confident,
Won't you be my confidante.
faith
when we
cannot put
trust in persons
promises without
previously assenting
to or believing in that persons
claim to have such confidence in thy self
Feel The Faith
She's got good confidence
that young girl
But she does not see
her self worth
She thinks her body
is her greatest asset
But she's wrong
And she'll get past it
As she grows
She soon will know
Her heart and soul
Are worth more than gold.
I'm not afraid of the
depth of the sorrows. I'm afraid of
the moment that I suffered.
Here comes one of those super confident drones, Elephant.
What does he want? Or should I ask who does he want?
He had better not even try to talk to me.
I get my corbicula and leave quickly, as you see.
The queen is short, he is yelling. Only a thousand eggs today!
That could mean death to the old girl; I don’t care in any way.
She has never been friendly to me, so I push off and fly.
Don’t you want to know what happened? Do you want to know why?
We worker bees despise these super confident drones, the men.
It is better in the winter, because they don’t last long then.
But in the summer our life span is five times longer, I am afraid.
I ignore him completely, trying to not fly into any fern or shade.
