Best Self Doubt Poems

Only life in our mortal realm
entrenches self-doubt’s stand.

People and events cripple us
with critical mirrors showing us
visuals of our ineptness.

   All who are predisposed to clutching their negative blows

Late autumn afternoon 
on the beach a broken branch
sways to the overtures
of lapping waves, contemplating
on whether to trust again after
the pain of wind’s betrayal.

I try to keep a swagger in my step,
i try to walk boldly, 
but how can I when my own self confidence
cannot hold me?

My self-esteem ain't that low,
but then again
it ain't that high.

And sometimes I don't know
who i am, where i'm going or
why i'm so...

It is a fact that before I wrote True Colours,
I was stuck in a world of black and white bipolar,
encaged in my seat on a non stop rollercoaster,
eating one meal a day cooking bread in a toaster.

Do you know if from here I should.....
Nope wait,...

Self doubt is my destroyer,
Puts obstacles in my way,
It is my enemy, my poison,
Killing my talents and abilities.
The negative babble
Chatters loudly in my head,
Reinforcing the self criticism.
It gets under my skin,
Haunting my self esteem.
I feel it travelling around my body,
Like bacteria flooding my blood.
It makes...

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...

Reflect,
Contemplate life,
Question your existence,
Do you fit into the puzzle,
Unsure....

What was I thinking
Who will remember
Realization is sinking
A slow December

They might have seen
Caught a glimpse
A crack in my dream
Despite my attempts 

The tiny details
I over correct
OCD spells
My art is wrecked

I often forget
The simplicity
Back before I let
The world get to me

They gossip and judge
Or so I've...

You asked me in
And held me up
Then threw me down
And made me doubt
Everything in my mind
Everything I try and rewind
And playback life scenarios
You just hang me out
And let me go
I was so stupid
Why didn’t I know?
This is how
Things would go
My life turned
Inside and then out
Bringing...

The moments that you self doubt can kill your being
A shadow of confusion can settle inside 
Like a devil hiding A flame that surrounds your sense
Flesh becomes weak flesh becomes tense
The moments that you self doubt can kill your being 
The clock ticks timing is...

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...

As you go forth in your endeavors
Remember to keep a foundation
As obstacles come before you 
It will guide you in situations.
Refusing self-doubt,
By entertaining the challenges within,
Pursuing the desires of the heart
As motivation becomes your friend.
Have confidence in who you are
Where ever your Journey leads,
Know, you...

Gliding past the mirror, the visage of sophisticated sensuality, 
tall with head turning legs that stretch to heaven, dark and tan,
little black dress, tastefully shrink wrapped about hips and breasts,
stiletto heals, black patent, defining calves and thighs with each step,
but her smiling red lips can't...
