(parenthesis)

Repeating doubts
Squashed between
Brackets in my 
Head; they clog
The free-flow!

Freedom to let
My mind wander
To and fro,
Like it does
When I'm happy!

David, I like this poem very much. I think we have all felt this way at different times, yet you were able to express it so well. Soupmail

This is really quite deep, David. I get these doubts (thoughts in parentheses that interfere with uplifting thoughts) as well. If you find a way to dispell these "brackets," please let me know. Excellent, insightful poem, my friend! I have just returned from vacation. Love, Carolyn
