Is dignity a sour trait?
If hurried but forced to sedate.
Does self assurance provoke hate?
Only to those that can’t relate.
Will poise make others hesitate?
If their own ego feels afraid.
Can pride ever be seen as great?
When morals are all clear and straight.
Does intrigue form forceful debates?
If anxious thoughts are felt innate.
Will courage heal, stick, and inflate?
It lives in hearts that carry faith.
Can confidence help minds create?
If visions come from a high state.
Is certainty an act of fate?
A knowing soul defeats the wait.

Brilliant Grace! 👏😁 I love these 4 lines in particular:
“Does self assurance provoke hate?
Only to those that can’t relate.
Will poise make others hesitate?
If their own ego feels afraid.”
How self confidence/assurance in 1 person can be intimidating to others who don’t understand what it’s like to have it.
