confident

confident? yeah, i am.
oh, you can tell? good.
the way i walk and talk, the way i act.
what i do, when i do, how i do.

i've always been an open book.
when i'm asked the question,
"what's your biggest secret?"
i never know how to respond.

anyone who's close enough to ask,
already knows all my secrets.
i can never keep my mouth shut,
i like to talk about myself.

that's the thing though,
i don't really like hearing myself talk.
i actually... hate it,
listening to myself is embarrassing.

now that i think about it,
i don't like my laugh either.
loud and obnoxious,
other girls have cute giggles.

i don't even like my messy curly hair,
or my face, with all its acne.
my arms or my legs,
my stomach, even. i hate eating.

so what's my biggest secret, you ask?
i'm sure you already know.
i'm confident, an open book, remember?
oh, you can tell?
good.
