Ivor Davies Poet Rhyme

Self Doubt

It’s such a hopeless, gloomy world
for those who walk about
without the confidence of mind
that takes away self-doubt.

But how can you fulfil your aims
if you remain inside,
protected by your prison walls
as in your mind you hide.

Waiting there for you to find,
although you fear to go,
is all the knowledge that you need
to help your spirit grow.

So take the plunge and break your cage,
all is not what it seems.
You need to face your inner fears
to realise you dreams.

You’ll find that once you’ve venture out
your fears will soon recede
and then you’ll reap the things in life
that you need to succeed.
 
In strength of mind you’ll graduate,
your confidence will swell
and very soon you’ll wonder why
you tied yourself in hell.

The world’s a place to grow and love
enjoyed by all mankind
so live it with a soul that’s free,
not shackled by your mind.

Ivor G Davies

Kim Merryman December 11, 2015 at 10:15 PM Good advice, Ivor. I can relate to this poem as I constantly fight against fear. Great work! Love, Kim Ivor Davies December 15, 2015 at 12:23 PM It is easy to say fear is only in the mind, but the hardest thing in the world to face ones own 'fears'. Incidentally, brave people are not the ones who do things fearlessly, they are the ones who are scared but still do them. (both physically or emotionally)
