Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

Killing the Doubts With Faith and Hope

There are days when I steer clear of putting pen to paper
Afraid what my mind would spew
I look into the core of fear 
Into the core of what hurts 
All the questions that entail  

The lingering doubts 
Wondering if I can handle this 
Then I remember all those other moments 
That came before 

They had meaning 
They were an intricate element
Of what I am dealing with today
Sometimes I just have to push through
The doubts
Challenge the fear 
And rely on all the lessons learned
In order to persevere

Nobody cares about the in between 
Just on how you finished
So if today is doubtful I will push through 
I have hope, 
I have faith 
Even that at times is enough
To see the sun shining through the miasma

Andrea Dietrich April 1, 2015 at 2:21 PM a very positive and inspiring message, sweetie. I liked how you said nobody cares about the in between. Unfortunately for that, people may race too quickly trying to get success the wrong way or not be able to enjoy the ride along their journey. Great thoughts here!
