Shades

She felt confident. A lifetime of struggles and identity crises lay behind her. As she lay contemplating about the events that shaped her, a familiar voice called out to her. It seemed to be a voice from long back, back when she was still a little cub, scared and confused.
As they sat chatting, talk turned philosophical. She was confident, confident enough to acknowledge the uncertainties of life. As she talked about them, the voice questioned, shocked, "What happened to all your confidence? You were so confident back then".

It was her turn to be stunned. Was she such an hypocrite earlier? or Did she evolve into someone who could express her emotions better now? or Did she forget how to hide them? or was there any reason anymore to even try to hide? Interesting questions to keep her company even as they parted ways perhaps never to cross paths again.

Confidence for quiet

What a day, that I’ve left behind
You forgave, said I’ve done my time
I’ve been good, animation ryhme
Sisterhood, can I find that line
Not anymore, I don’t feel it
I’m not hopeless, tragic
No, nothing no more to say
I’ve got freedom, no more calling

I don’t care
I’ll walk away
‘Cause I’ve got confidence for quiet
I’m not afraid

I’m not hungry, no I’m over fed
Satisfied, with the life I’ve led
Moving on, to where you can’t see
What is me
Well it’s just for me

Mine end of the line
You don’t hear it crashing silent
You’re all gone left me behind
Is this freedom no one’s calling

I don’t care, I’ll walk away
‘Cause I’ve got confidence for quiet
I’m not afraid

No nothing no more to say
Is this freedom, no one calling

I don’t care, I’ll walk away
‘Cause I’ve got confidence for quiet
I’m not afraid
No I don’t care
I’ll walk away
‘Cause I’ve got confidence for quiet
I’m not afraid
I’ve got confidence
I’m not afraid
