Self- Doubt

There comes a time 
For every person
When you begin to question your worth.

Sometimes you question
The extent of your work.
Is it good enough?
Is it neat enough? 
Is it captivating?
Will it create awe
In the reader’s mind?

Or will it sound dull?
Empty?
Boring?
Will they call it moronic 
Or a delight?

How will I know?
Am I being ridiculous?
Is this just self doubt?
Or is this real?
Is there an ounce of truth 
To my doubt?
