Confidence is within us all

Destructive thoughts within our minds

can keep us in despair...

those doubts and insecurities

are not worth the pain they bear.

It's sad to carry baggage

that causes grief and shame...

and in time we come to realize

we have ourselves to blame.

We can choose our way of thinking

and ask God to give us peace...

as we pray for a healthy attitude,

our negative thoughts will cease.

These human hearts are fragile

and sometimes we can't see...

it takes some effort on our part

to find worth and security.

Don't let those demons haunt you

and keep you in the dark...

just know that God, who formed you,

loves you just the way you are.
