It is only prudent never to place complete confidence in that by which we have even once been deceived.

Confidence
(words & music by tepper - bennett)
When everyone thought the world was flat
Columbus said its round
He went down in history
And america was found
cause
He had confidence
A little thing called confidence
Theres no job too immense when youve got
Confidence
With a c and an o and an n and an f
And an I and a d and an ence
Put em all together and what have you got
Confidence
Youll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
Remember the tortoise and the hare
Who had that famous race
The speedy hare wound up nowhere
And slow poke took first place
cause
He had confidence
A little thing called confidence
Theres no job too immense when youve got
Confidence
Youll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
How do you know that you cant ride a rainbow in the sky
Youll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
All you need is confidence
A little thing called confidence
Theres no job too immense when youve got
Confidence
With a c and an o and an n and an f
And an I and a d and an ence
Put em all together and what have you got
Confidence
Confi ..... confi .... confidence

Let Go of Feeling Low and Busted
Let go of feeling low and busted,
Because of those once trusted...
Have disappointed to leave you in grief.
With a taking of your trust to crush it.
Breathe a sigh of relief.
Your feelings can be easily changed.
Since those who have deceived you,
Have deceived others too.
And you only have two eyes to dry.
Deceivers looking for a place to hide...
Will be crying for the rest of their lives.
Despised by more than one pair of eyes.
Your feelings can be easily changed.
Since those who have deceived you,
Have deceived others too.
And the lives they 'had' lived doing it,
Will never be the same.

Feelings and Emotions Felt
There is nothing like watching,
A backfire taking place unexpected.
From a comfortable distance.
Especially when the heat,
Is on those who sneakily deceived.
And believed their actions,
Would never bring them grief.
'And you enjoy knowing this?
Even though your life now lived,
Is at peace that brings you...
Complete and total happiness? '
Of course.
My feelings and emotions felt,
Have never been from me divorced.

'I don't give a hoot
I don't care
I don't know anything'...
is the beginning of inner peace
the beginning of joyful
intrinsic wisdom harmony...
the beginning of intuitive possibilities
beautiful to behold is confidence of certainty
more complete confidence in empowering certainties...
beauty in laughter

Be it a potted pant
One may draw confidence
From the robe or crown he wears.
One may draw confidence
From the skin he possesses.
One may boast with confidence
From the connection he has.
Confidence grows to pride,
Pride, to conceit and conceit,
To vanity or atrocity.
Be confidence a potted plant.

Can I Believe...
Relinquished of passion
Alone as i slowly vanish
No strength and no confidence
No results even with all the time spent
Am I wasting my time
Is there something left for me to find
CAN I BELIEVE...
Thats just it
I can not complete this
I have no ending
I have no heading
I am lost
Out of bridges to cross
Maybe one day I will find help
Someone to help me regain my
PASSION
STRENGTH
CONFIDENCE
And my will to BELIEVE.

Confidence | Words of Wisdom
Don’t mistake power for confidence
You’ll never never like how it ends
Take your stance and understand
Confidence is the greatest tool
Confidence is power that’s my first rule
Now weapons aren’t that sharp even from the start
But confidence is evident etched with in your brain
Confidence is sharper than any razor blade
Individuality is a packaged deal
You’ve got to trust yourself and know yourself for real
Now trying to control ain’t gonna work
Power is a tool that’s broke
Too much effort, too much mess,
Leaving a trail of broken heart and broken glass
So there’s my proof I say it with confidence

WAKEN not Amor from sleep! The beauteous urchin still slumbers;
Go, and complete thou the task, that to the day is assign'd!
Thus doth the prudent mother with care turn time to her profit,
While her babe is asleep, for 'twill awake but too soon.

Lovely Illusions
Confidence, …‘shrinks’ tell us
is only an illusion
Reflecting only, the facts and feeling
At, and of, a particular time
Sounds a lot like the illusion of love, to me
Akin to the mental images
we conjure up in our minds,
and ascribe to a state so sublime
Whether tis fact or illusion,
I shall avoid the confusion
By having complete confidence
and seeking seclusion
In my lovely, misty world,
so unreal yet appealing
My sphere of fictitious fact and feeling
Of beguiling illusion and rhyme

With confidence,

New year tomorrow
I may be ushered in new era tomorrow
I shall double up the efforts to end sorrows
Will make it sure that there is no reoccurrences
I shall declare the resolve in everybody’s presence
I have suffered a lot at the cruel hands of fate
I confined to a corner and acted very late
The luck deceived me and I was pushed away
I searched for new route but found no way
It is better late than never
The problems may remain for ever
Life may continue to play hide and seek
We shall remain firm and not feeble or weak
I have learned a lot form past mistakes
It was act in haste and so much was at stake
It might have not struck at desired level
There was enough chance to succeed and excel
It has been made amply clear and understood
Nothing can be left behind for any good
Every opportunity is to be grabbed and explored
Complete reversal of past mistakes and no stone to remain unturned
I am reformed person now
With full of confidence and fully know how?
To tackle the ticklish issues with full command
And to meet it with authority and demand
I shall have no more room to complain
It has to performed in all the seasons even if in rain
As the time may not afford any chance in near future
I will have to ascertain and make it very sure
Time is most opportune time to adjust
We can take refuge under pretext and it is must
You can recoup and fight form the better result
The confidence is regained as strength is inbuilt

Politics I Understand
Politics i understand
Someone once said to me
Its really not that complex
Its really quite easy
If right is right
Then left is wrong
She said with confidence complete
Its no wonder that she and i
Never again did meet.

The unhappy legacies of authoritarianism can be removed only if the concept of absolute power as the basis of government is replaced by the concept of confidence as the mainspring of political authority: the confidence of the people in their right and ability to decide the destiny of their nation, mutual confidence between the people and their leaders and, most important of all, confidence in the principles of justice, liberty and human rights.

Don't Let My Confidence Offend
Please,
Don't let my confidence offend.
I did not always place my steps,
With such self assurance.
And when I first met my own arrogance,
Even I became overwhelmed...
With the flaunting of it.
My experiences and indifferences from others,
Witnessed.
Did this to me.
And when I discovered my own identity,
Well...
People were quick to abandon my honesty.
And so difficult it was for me to let them go.
Please,
Don't let my confidence offend.
I did not always place my steps,
With such self assurance.
And when I first met my own arrogance,
Even I became overwhelmed...
With the flaunting of it.
However...
Becoming use to it I've done.
You don't have to.
And this I completely understand if you don't.
But compensating where I am for you?
To show it can be done at your satisfaction?
Is not going to happen. Period. With no explanation!

The Love That I Found Defined In Me
The love that I found defined in me.
Reduced all the fantasies,
I kept deceived.
When I saw you,
That moment I knew...
Mixed reactions disappeared.
I felt a deepness clearing and near,
Flowing to bestow...
Upon me.
The love that I found defined in me.
Removed all desires to be free.
You held the key,
To unlock that need in me...
That kept my secret beliefs,
No one could be there to release..
This in me.
The love that I found defined in me.
Needed no one else to complete.
You had the magic.
Fantastic,
Indeed!
And in me...
What it was you had,
Fixed a piece of mystery...
That teased!
And freed a gladness.
The love that I found defined in me.
Reduced all the fantasies,
I kept deceived.
When I saw you,
That moment I knew...
Mixed reactions disappeared.
I felt a deepness clearing and near.
To forever be here with me,
To grow.
And know together love!
The love that I found defined in me.
Needed no one else to complete.
You had the magic.
Fantastic,
Indeed!
And in me...
What it was you had,
Fixed a piece of mystery...
That rid from me the sadness.
And you held the key,
To unlock that need in me!
The love that I found defined in me.
Reduced all the fantasies,
I kept deceived.
When I saw you,
That moment I knew...
Mixed reactions disappeared.
I felt a deepness clearing and near.
To forever be here with me,
Growing to know this love!
Growing to show...
We know,
This is love!
