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
