Doubt, you are the great thief
that robs me of life,
for you sneak in unseen and
strip away my dreams
and take away that most
prized possession-confidence!
But I do see your work at times
when I slow and listen and see
and hear your voice
inside my head and learn
your dire strategy of
picking away slowly at all
that I claim to be good
and all I have achieved.
