Get Out of Your Own Way

always fight 
     your doubtful mind 
          when it 
               turns against you 
                    and keeps feeding you 
                         blatant lies 
                              never...

doubt yourself 
     you just 
          have to trust 
               your instincts 
                    and never become 
                         your own worst enemy;
                              get...

out of your own way.
