Doubt Casts a Shadow

I've walked these lonely miles In spite, of tumultuous trials Yet, doubt casts a shadow My strength shall not falter Though, my life was altered Yet, doubt casts a shadow I've held steadfast with courage Though, times of small discourage Yet, doubt casts a shadow I've overcame each affliction Years of secret addiction Yet, doubt casts a shadow I've survived abuse, upon me, inflicted Encountered the world's truly wicked Yet, doubt casts a shadow I've mended the pain of my broken heart Even, as my life was shattered apart Yet, doubt casts a shadow Misery sang, to me, its bitter song I mustered the will to carry on Yet, doubt casts a shadow I can not be broken! Despite, each hateful word spoken! Yet, doubt casts a shadow! I've conquered my demons! Whilst, my soul was screaming! Yet, doubt casts a shadow! I've accepted my transgressions! Turned, my life, a new direction! Yet, still, doubt casts its shadow!!

Very powerful words. To overcome is divine but to doubt is to stay prisoner. Be strong and diligent for the time draws near. The reflection of your pain is so much clearer. My love can only endure so much darkness for to which I have to let go as doubt casts it's shadow in us both. Love ya Roxie baby
