Queen of Doubt
8/17/12
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I await your reply with a sigh
I wonder if I am bothering
In truth I think it is in my head
And that they do not mind a bit
But sometimes, doubt pokes out
And crowns me willingly
Doubt is a friend I have come to know well
In the most simplest of situations
Or the most complex
It is a friend that crowns me
With a sense of humility—yet at the same time PRIDE
I feel superior as the doubter
And as such I wait for your reply
Justifying the fact that I know you care
And that my mind is creating a situation
That does not in fact exist
In fact, doubt IS pride
It is full of limit and full of itself
It does not add or subtract
It simply clings
And crowns my mind
As I await your reply,
I crown myself proudly,
The Queen of Doubt
