Lacking Confidence

People at my school view me as "Best Dressed" 

The one who just bought that and bought this

They also see me as the "High School Rapper" or the "Schools Rap Prince"

But behind all these curtains is a bundle of stress

 

It's a mess

The pain bottled up inside my chest 

With all these compliments i recieve

You'd think i would have loads of confidence.

 

But no 

My Self Confidence drowned itself in the deep end

The remarks to myself saying im ugly, and darker than the others is frequent

 

I'm a Senior now this is supposed to be my year

But the constant downbringing of the voices in my ear

Makes me struggle with myself even though people like the idea

Of me "Rhyming Nice" or "Outdressing" my peers

 

People see me as one thing at school, but dont know my true side

That my self confidence withdraws me from talking to females, or even looking people in the eye.

Why? I'm not sure hopefully I'll try

To become a confident person later on in life 

 

This is me the "Man Under Mask" 

And more Self Confidence is all that I ask.
