Inconfident

Let it all hang out, and don't even care. As long as you're smiling, that's all that matters. Make a friend smile, too while you're at it. Then you guys can hang out together!

Pour yourself out
All over the day
Be loud
And walk proud
With a confident gait
Go, henceforth! Without
Any boorish restraint
Let them see
That you're free
And you're brave

Putting yourself out there is so tough, that's why I think it's important we all respect and encourage one another here. It's pretty brave to post some of the things we do. I'm thinking especially of some of the younger poets who are new. I hate when I see someone squash their confidence right out of the gate.

If you don't have something nice to say...
Make something up. Being nice is easy.

You can always find something nice to say.
Doesn't mean you can't also be nurturing.
It's like parenting. You build up their confidence first then guide them towards trying a different approach or thinking how else they can approach something. It's a mom thing I guess. It's effortless to be nice. You said it best.

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Yeah but you said it like a mom so that makes you more right than me.
I remember. I have one of those, myself.
She's a know it all.

This could be an anthem for those whose confidence is not flying at full mast. Takes courage to act confident when you don't feel it, but a smile should be maneagable regardless. Meaningful write DCM.
