Self Belief – Written Wednesday 28th October 2003 (Aged 28)

Self Belief

self belief
is wasted on others
it’s best to lie in bed
and express your thoughts to one another

self belief
is the last boat home
from a land that time forgot
from a feeling truly alone

self belief
does not pay the fare
just to get you home
it does not appear to care
at least it lets you roam

i have filled up buckets
with my self belief
i have felt wave after wave
but it’s always, just one step from a grave
