Hope and Doubt

Hope and doubt
dancing around
spiraling together
thrown at me
one raising me up
the other dropping me suddenly
how can I continue this
living each day unsure
emotions running wild
people throwing words
opinions
their own doubts
never leaving me be
wanting to fix my mistakes
even before they're made
my life a puzzle
half the pieces are missing
stolen
