Where did my strength come from?
Why did I never doubt?
What happened to only me
so I’ve got it figured out?

Who taught me I can do it all?
How was I encouraged?
What convinced me to do my best
and promised it’d be worth it?

Why am I beautiful
and how can I admit it out loud?
Where did I learn my boasting skills
and not to shy from a crowd?

How can I write these words?
What gives me the persistence?
Why am I able to fight through
my own resistance?

Tell me, how was I blessed
and what can help me understand
why others aren’t as confident
or as focused as I am?
