Doubt Is a Powerful Thing
Doubt is a powerful thing
It can destroy anything
In one instant like a brush
Of a hand over freshly painted
Beautiful colorful canvas
Leaving messy disarray of paint
Covering delicate faint
Spring’s blooming Scent
That was emerging from
The artist’s creative mind
The deeper you drown
In your own minds dawn
Nagging burning doubt
Eats you from inside out
You risk getting lost
And never to be found
In the realm of tricky doubt
Doubt is a dangerous thing
When you start thinking
That the world is not
What you expected it to be
And you get carried away
With you doubts like
An addict who gets high
And drowns in his own
Feverishly galloping mind’s
Muddy sucking ground
Sinking deeper and deeper
In an alluring sweet bitter
World of your own
Overpowering doubt
And getting lost forever
In the jungle of your
Own mysterious mind
