This Doubt Disease

10.3.19

This doubt disease 
 

This doubt disease 
Oh, it tingles all your extremities 
Pulsating through the very existence of you
In control of your every move dragging you with such ease. 
The raging blood flows when you feel deceived 
Its calling from inside if you with delirious desire
it screams in your dreams 
it takes you out of your body
beyond the voice of reason
past the sun, moon & stars 
beyond the scope of time… every single season
your doubt claims you. You are mine.
It slows your stride.  Snatching your happiness from within.  
But the warm feeling of being comforted by thoughts and feelings so familiar you stay… saying 
Me and this doubt disease we’ve got history. We have rapport. 
We got a routine. Our PH is aligned 
But you. Dope of reality you’re a drug to divide.
Leave us alone. Let us be
the truth you’re trying to force is going to kill me.
This doubt disease that you’re trying to eradicate is part of my DNA
So, get away from me with this reality poison
I only allowed to see things this way. The way doubt has shown me 
He advised me of your plot, your plan. 
You’re trying to make a fool of me. Embarrass & mock me
But your lies wont work in this life span. 
This doubt disease
Its calling from inside of you with delirious desire
Flame ignited. Setting your soul on fire
Engulfing your body with flames 
Confusion calls you by your name
You attempt to focus
to snap out of the trance
you reach out to the heavens in prayer
seeking Yahweh’s help but doubt says there’s none there
The momentum of your raging blood flows through your veins
escaping its containment with no place to go 
& silly you, thought you had it under control 
False accuser.  Speaking unjust
Lustful thinker with a spirit of distrust.
Reputation ruin-er. Attacker of integrity
You hypocrite how dare you judge me
You question truth, faith, love and family
Doubt disease consumes his host. He has the victory.
