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.
