Not a weakness
Confidence
It’s my best defense
I sometimes seem dense
But it’s part of my offense
I listen to your heart
I don’t know where to start
My shoes are untied
Sometimes I lie
And say I’m fine
When the reality is this
I picture
My literature
In books
Published and great
I’m sometimes late
I would rather be in a lake
Floating under water
Not worrying about the falter
The faults of others
Just the utter silence
I try to remember my confidence
Is my best defense
My love is not a weakness
It’s my best defense
I sometimes seem dense
But it’s part of my offense
I listen to your heart
I don’t know where to start
My shoes are untied
Sometimes I lie
And say I’m fine
When the reality is this
I picture
My literature
In books
Published and great
I’m sometimes late
I would rather be in a lake
Floating under water
Not worrying about the falter
The faults of others
Just the utter silence
I try to remember my confidence
Is my best defense
My love is not a weakness
