CONFIDENCE & ARROGANCE

04/04

Hang in my closet
Side by side
Both multi-colored
Similar patterns
One there by choice
Compliments all
The other keeps showing up
Stands best alone

Without looking
I put one on today
It felt so good
Custom-fitted my body
It had to be right
I flaunted as I went out
Positive I looked really cool

Returning home this evening
I caught sight of myself
In the hall mirror
Something was wrong
I went to my closet
Confidence was still there

No wonder I felt so good all day
And so many looked at me askance

I'm working on leaving arrogance behind
Practice will help
When confidence fits better
I'll take arrogance to the Goodwill
