(Poem) “Hidden Gem”

I used to think that confidence was a feeling to be spent.. but she was a dirty bitch, only to the money would she consent.. Making love to her gave me the respect I grew to love and resent.. She was hair and nails done and a car that I could only afford to rent.. I liked the way she spoke in my defense.. She even made them fear me in a sense.. Through their eyes she drew compliments.. but most of all she was a secure fence, from questions, from judgement, she could mold an audience only to hide my soul from its own intent.. until one day I realized the clothes she gave me were not mine but were lent.. What she gave me was an image while the real thing hid in its own suspense.. The image was always an expense while confidence the real thing didn’t cost a cent.. When I met her it was intense like meeting the real me renewed without the dents.. Now I don’t listen to mankind because they were all quiet when my mind was bent.. I used to look in the mirror and see a face but now I see a soul in my defense.
