Poetry

Doubt

You stop me in my very core

And I can’t move forward anymore

And as I pray you away, I know you will always come back for more.

For you may win next time, and the thrill of bringing me down is something you look forward to.

You strike right as I’ve been feeling so good and proud of myself, and then the thoughts start to swirl in my head.

And my whole day could become a battle of getting back my confidence and my truth.

That I am enough, and I have all I need to live for what I’m meant to be.

For doubt, you may exist but not today as I have no desire for you to ruin my plans today.
