Confidence Poem Adesewa Oyinkansola
Confidence is facing the challenges of your life with courage.                        Confidence is never backing out, even when things are not going your way yet.                                                         Confidence is saying, “YES,” and meaning it.                                                            Confidence is saying, “NO,” and meaning it.                                                             Confidence is not compromising.                        Confidence is standing and holding on to that which you know is true, no matter what.                                           Confidence is what you need to overcome your fears.                              So, to be somebody,                                have Confidence in yourself                 Only Confidence keeps you going

oyinkanMy name is Oyinkansola Adesewa (pictured). I am 11 years old. I love writing, drawing, painting, designing clothes, dancing, and modeling. I am presently a student of Yaba College Of Technology Secondary School, Yaba-Lagos. I started writing at the age of 6. My first poem book titled “Thoughts of a Child” was published when I was 8 years old through a writing contest. I participated and I did excellently. Presently, I still write and I have written more poems outside the ones in my book.
