Doubt

Doubt is a terrible poison
All consuming and unstoppable
It starts with a little seed and leads to an entire forest before you realize it
This ravenous monster eats away at everything,
Until the only thing left is fear and paranoia
It kills the happiness that once was all consuming
And replaces it with anxiety and irritation
Doubt invades every aspect of
And makes you question every intention and every action
In the end it kills and you hate yourself for doubting in the first place
