Confidence

By Caitlin, 14, New York

Confidence: a tiny bird
That sleeps within your soul
When it is awoken it will be heard
From the depths of its dark hole.

It cries out in the darkness of the night
And sings its song in the morn
Spreads its wings to extinguish the fright
And another one is born.

Confidence: two tiny birds
That sleep within your soul
When they are awoken they will be heard
From the depths of their dark hole.
