Ever been sneered at, mocked?

It can kick you to the floor, knocked,

Leave you reeling, doubting, shocked,

Know you've heard it all before,

But the best thing really is to ignore.

Don't waste time on what others think,

It'll only push you over failure's brink,

Giving into insecurities and fear,

Won't help you get your life into gear.

Bite the bullet, cause a stir,

Impress, from your mind the invasion of doubts deter,

Be original, successful, make your mark,

Only by stepping into confidence's light and out of fear's dark.
