Losing Self Confidence

11th December, 2020

I'm happy that's what I tell others, but today in the morning, something happened. Something that broke my heart, tore it into shreds and made me lock it in a cage once again. No I wasn't in love. It's just that some harsh words made me feel scared again. My courage disappeared at that point and all I wanted to do was run away. But that's when these words echoed into my mind from nowhere, "If you think that your life is tough then you very well know that it'll never be easy so learn to face it." That's what made me embrace my fears for the very first time in life. I got the confidence that I'd lost and fought, not just for myself, but also for those who supported me.

A broken girl I was

All confidence was lost

No hope was left

The words caused a theft

I was hurt and shattered

Nothing else mattered

But those echoing words

Was a boon not curse

My life was tough I thought

I had faced maybe a lot

But it wasn't going to change

But I was the fighter in range.
