Standing tall

proud and fearless

walking soundly

head raised high

confidence seen as arrogance

ignoring rumors and all the lies...

Wilting shadow

shy and frail

walking softly

head held down

distance seen as weakness

flinching harshly from all the stares...

Meeting randomly at crossroads

barely steps away '

confidence seen as arrogance

never glances from their friends

and distance seen as weakness

to frightened to say...

...their confidence walks away.
