confidence
Confidence is the absurd theatre of self-display, boasting one's worth while secretly craving the gaze of others. It is nothing more than a loud excuse to mask the void within. Ironically, it preaches the art of self-reliance while begging for external approval. At times it is a psychological sauna, freezing and overheating the soul simultaneously. Listen to the discordant echo born from the gap between the ideal self you believe in and the reality staring back at you.
