Tide Within

#1
Beyond the shadow of doubt
 Lies more sinister thought
 An inner taking of oneself
 From what seems inside out
 Pressure too well withheld
 And kept deep in some well
 Rising up just to drown us
 Quell reluctance and excel

#2
Beyond the shadow of doubt
Lurks overwhelming thought
Diminishing our confidence
From what seems inside out
Pressure too well withheld
And kept deep in some well
Rising up just to drown us
Quell your wave and propel
