Confidence is what I never had
It's like depression drowned me
Like an overflowing bath
Each day was a struggle
Most days it's hard to cope
I try to speak and I choke
Style, clothes is what everyone's looking at
But i feel like people are staring underneath mine
Me wishing they were as blind as a bat
Forcing myself to leave the house
Walking fast like a mouse
My peers tell me I look fine
Most even compliment me
But my own confidence is as thin as a line
But I'm working on it
My confidence is coming back
Now I dont worry what people think
I dont worry a bit
Confidence is now what I have
I finally came out of that bath
