Confidence can be mistaken....

The poet in ME! ......

I am just me, full of CONFIDENCE but what you see is Cockiness and Boughieness

So what if I walk with my head up high, looking up to the sky it helps my day go by, I’ve been told of the greatness I poses, it helps 2 uplift my CONFIDENCE, which u have mistaken for Cockiness and Boughieness

My attitude is one of no other, I'm a lady, a lover, refusing to be utterly damaged by your words, because I have CONFIDENCE which u have mistaken for Cockiness and Boughieness

That talk and walk that I walk, it's my essence, in which u lack, so u mistake my CONFIDENCE for Cockiness and Boughieness

Yes, I am strong, single and independent, all over my body language screams out a loud "WHATEVER AND FUCK YOU!!", its the lionesses roar of CONFIDENCE which u have mistaken for Cockiness and Boughieness

Not a diss 2 any dudes, but I'll do what u do if not better in a pair of high heels, I got ya'll actin' like chic's, sayin' look at this Bitch here, standing in a crowd of men, I am the feminine form of CONFIDENCE, which u have mistaken for Cockiness and Boughieness

When I step into a room I bring with me something, u look u say she acting all funny, which is not the case, I just have something that u lack honey, "CONFIDENCE" which u have mistaken for Cockiness and Boughieness

Not 2 say there is anything wrong with being all 3 because at any given moment that's what I can be, however you will need 2 identify which is me before u come at me directly, for u may mistake my CONFIDENCE for Cockiness and Boughieness
