Leaning forward, I’m always sitting at the edge of my seat
While looking through a paper thin screen
I caught a glimpse of my self-confidence,
Though at the time, I had no idea what it could mean
Sometimes the knowledge can hinder you
Others, it can make you realize the ‘old you’ that you once overthrew
The past ‘you’ that you once forgotten is now completely erased
But are you ready to embrace the future, which is in turn ready to be traced?
Life can throw so many things to you all at once, it can be so overwhelming
But you are expected to not let a single thing faze you
My dear, that look of despair never suited you, it was never even becoming
And when you turn around, that life could easily crumble, only because of what you do
This is why you’ll never lose yourself again
You vow to never lose sight of your new-found self-confidence
But this is how you should have been, ever since it began
So you once again turn to that paper thin screen, only for some reassurance
Leaning forward, I’m always sitting at the edge of my seat
While looking through a paper thin screen
I caught a glimpse of my self-confidence,
Though at the time, I had no idea what it could mean
That meaning, when I knew it, I thought I’d never lose sight
But while trapped in my own fantasies, I’d forgotten it all
Only to later stumble back onto the beaten path,
I wonder how long I was stuck in that seemingly eternal plight
The time went by, oh so quickly
It finally gave me the chance to see
What I was doing wrong, what I wasn’t thinking
It was because my own lack of self-confidence had blinded me
Instead of sitting, I am now running forward, I’m no longer going to run away
I’ve found the purpose for my existence, my reason to live every day
I now know that paper thin screen, was only a false illusion
And now I know, I can do anything I choose, as long as I stay on that beaten path
Memories shouldn’t stop you from being who you are
That’s simply how it is, and always has been
Remember this and it will get you far
Confidence will always find you again; all you have to do is simply begin
