Poem #21 (Self Doubt j.r.m©)


Are you sure you want to wear this to the party?
What will people think?
I bet they’ll tear you down the minute you walk in.
Gorge you with disgusted and pitiful stares.

You sure you want to really go down this path and dredge up the past from its grave?
Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?
I hate to be the one to say, ”TOLD YOU SO.”

You are good for nothing,
I am the only one who is genuinely frank with you?

What if it doesn’t work?
what are the risks?
What are the repercussions of my actions?
Have you thought this through?

What if no one really buys my book
what if they fail to resonate with my words?
what if they hate it?
what if they don’t approve?
What if I fail?
How will I recover?

Self Doubt is a disease of the mind,
the more you listen to it
the more importance you give it.
Next thing you are acknowledging it,
and are getting influenced.

Self doubt – A destructive way to destroy your individuality.
Tap it out before it taps you out.
