Thomas King Poet Rhyme

A Shadow of Doubt

I try to be strong 
To hold onto my belief 
That soon I will be free 
From all of this grief 

Solid and true 
Is my resolve and my will 
But that unknowing dark force 
Continues to follow me still 

I know it’s a manifestation 
I've created and given life 
As it cuts through my defenses 
Like the sharp blade of a knife

It threatens to do harm 
To all I have built 
By delivering that blade 
All the way to the hilt 

But I know in my heart 
My skin is too thick 
And my nerves are aware 
My reactions too quick 

So cautiously I move 
Aware of its presence and threat 
Creating this darkness
I will always regret 

In my mind I try forgetting
Try shutting it out, 
But I guess there is no escaping 
My shadow of doubt
