Despairado

I crave confidence
more than any cocktail
more than any Kendra. 

I am a man who has everything
completely figured out,
and a man who is utterly uncomfortable
in his own skin. 

I am a proud weirdo,
an ancillary asshole equally imbued
with legendary loser pathos. 

I know what I want
but I am terrified of getting it,
because I will fumble 
on the gamble.

Confidence is a killer
and I selfishly 
want to be its victim.
