Love Poem: Confidence

Confidence

Stand in the mirror and say
"I love you, you're great"
As you pick out your clothes
And get ready for your date.

Will he think I look ugly or
Will he think I am okay?
Will he want me for a wife?
Or will I just be another lay?

I've been hurt so bad
And I feel full of shame.
It's hard to keep my head up
When I feel to him, its all just a game.

How do I know he's interested in
Me for me and not for other things?
Am I truly ready for an evening out
And all that it brings?

Take a deep breath and listen to a wise woman
That once said "Hold your head high",
Walk out the door, love yourself and if
He doesn't respect you, say "Good-Bye".
