This is ridiculous.
You’re not gonna do it.
You won’t succeed,
I can assure you,
no matter how much
you may hope.
You’re not gonna get me
to believe in myself
however hard you try.

I am what I am
which I know all too well
and it will not change.
I will not let it.
My personality is too distinct,
my will is too strong.

I am too invested
in the me that I am,
the me you know.
No deviation
will be afforded
and no incentive will be enough
for this to change.

If I believe in myself
how will I go about my days?
What accomplishment
will be required of me
on a daily basis?
How much must I earn
if my excuses are torn away?

No!
It won’t do.
Confidence is not an upgrade
I can allow.
Whatever else you may want from me,
this will simply not happen.
