Voice of the Student - February 13, 2023

Confidence Is Key

Confidence is a firework in your hand

To have fun on the fourth of July

Trusting that it won't blow up too early

And knowing that the fuse is long enough to light it safely

Confidence is smiling in the mirror

And your reflection smiling back

To feel good about how you look

And accepting who you are

Confidence is a bird nest in a tree

depending on the tree branch to hold it

The bird hoping the branch doesn’t break

And come tumbling down

Confidence is a key

A key to success in whatever you do

A key that opens a different side of myself

A side that shows my true character
