Finally, Strangely Confident

I am strangely confident

That it will work out for me

This time

Is it the optimist speaking?

The one that has been slumbering

For oh-so-long?

This time around,

I can make a difference

In my life and mind

This time around,

I will not falter and fall

Will not give in to the darkness

This time around,

I will shine

As I was born to do

I’m certain that I can make it,

Be the inspiration that I once was

Yes, I’m finally:

Strangely confident
