Surreal Confidence

There I go again

Hinting for her to come hither

Almost instinctively

Automatic even

I just see those baggy jeans

That hooded sweatshirt

It's like I lose all my home training

Only for an instant though

For a moment,

I am the whore my mother taught me not to be

I lust this stranger

Want her to sit next to me

Quiz me on my hobbies

Ask me what I'm doing tonight

Want my number

My bra size

Shoe size

I just want her

To want me

When she does, I'll shy away

I have home training

But within this moment

I desire her attention

A smile

A glance

Anything

Any slight hint that she wants me

At least wants me to want her

I thought I'd outgrown this

Selfish

Emotionless

Need

To feel desired

But time and again

I find myself

Comfortably hidden

In the depths of a masked insecurity

I've been acting confident for so long

I've even fooled myself
