Window on The Soul

Somebody once asked me to help them with their self confidence - but what exactly is that? Where does it come from? And how do you get some?

Window on The Soul


Invisible, intangible and so fragile
Yet it has unlimited power
It can change the world
But its absence can make you cower

Where does it come from
This powerful thing?
How can it flood your veins
And then leave after a visit so fleeting?

Now here’s a contrary thought
Perhaps it does not exist
And the attempts to build it
Are just like knitting mist

Maybe its just another window on your soul
Another view of your human frailty
This handy label called confidence
Is a reminder that you not yet free

Not yet free from the need to fix your world
Not yet free from the way things should be
So invest in your freedom from yourself
And you will find the confidence key
