Doubt

Doubt is a sneaky bastard
He sneaks into your mind
Through every little crack
Or cranny he can find

He eats away in small nibbles
Wearing you down from inside
Taking bites of your confidence
Until he has turned its tide

  2. Sometimes, doubt is just a warning sign, all those little things that bother you, make you unsure, are trying to tell you something. If you're lucky, the tides of it will take you over and you will not be able to plug up all the holes and ignore some greater truth. Very well done.

  4. He sure is ~

    However, a bit of caution, even doubt is good because it spurs you to do your best, at least for me.

  7. doubt is on a few minds tonight, i see. yes, doubt used to make me feel bad, but now i see it as an opportunity. i think it only gets bad when you don't address it. when it creeps up, there is investigating to be done.

  9. I don't have time to leave comments on all of them, but... I really like the brain, heart and doubt poems! Excellent theme. Very thoughtful and interesting. I go back and forth between trusting heart and brain... due to doubt of course.

    P.S. Did your horoscope come true yet? Maybe use that cash to get away from the rain by taking a trip to sunny California! (I know. Not nice to brag...)

You may put in your 2¢ worth, but I'll only pay you a penny for your thoughts.
