PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I once had so much confidence

I could walk into a room and know I was going to get noticed

- And not for bad reasons

Now I lack it

It may be because I am 30lbs heavier

Or that I am not toned

Or my clothes are not as stylish as they once were

But it is more than that

I used to feel

Sexy attractive desirable



Tonight for some reason I felt that way sexy attractive and desirable

I felt so confident

You say that confidence is a turn on

I’ll show you confident I thought

So I kissed you in a way that even made me quiver

I methodically moved touched kissed about your body

Knowing you must want me as badly as I want you



But there was very little response and an “I’m sorry I’m so tired”

I tired once more

It felt like being punched in the gut feeling nauseous

And yet starved

And you comment on my lack of confidence



Sometimes when I’m with you it’s as if I never even lost it

And others I feel revolting
