CONFIDENCE
She walks with her head low
holding her books tight
she goes to the restroom to do her makeup
so she can shine bright
people always bring her down
but I tell her it’s alright
I say hello to her
so she can have someone to talk to
while people tell me not to
because she’s stupid
to me she is like everybody else
I laugh at them
I don’t listen
because her heart is like the flower blooming in the spring
she smiles brighter than the sun in the sky
once I said

Arianna
don’t listen to them
their hearts are cold as the december snow
just smile
move like the leaves in the wind
lift your head
don’t remember
let your confidence begin
