Elizabeth Kinch Poet Quatrain

In the Corner of My Mind

In the corner of my mind
There's a doubt.
I try to keep it in
But it wants out.

I build up walls around it,
Try to hold it in,
Forget that it is there
But it won't let me win.

That corners forever lurking,
Whispering to me,
"Let's have a get together,
Come in and see."

But doubt kills dreams,
Beliefs are undermined.
So I am leaving doubt,
In the corner of my mind.
