Bitter Surprise

Reaching the sky with one finger
Height is the hesitation
Understanding I'm a learner
Getting back down is not an option

Watched, underestimated, questioned
Strong confidence has no price
Shameless, fearless, confident

So long becomes too long...

Watched, underestimated, questioned
Strong confidence has no face
Shame, worry, temptation

Getting back down becomes an option
Realizing I'm just a beginner
Height becomes the question
Turning back down the finger

No expectation confidence had its price
After all, I hated the bitter surprise
