Self-Scare

A poem about self-doubt

Psst, hey. Hey you. I think you know what to do. You know you know it’s true. So why won’t you see it through?

Is it because you’re scared? Overwhelmed and under prepared? Waiting for someone who cared? But what would happen if you dared?

Self-doubt is rather tough. Grating, raw and rough. It winds into all of your stuff. But listen here; you’re enough.

The world might deal its blow. Try to hit you, sharp and low. But you can handle it, you know? It’s in these uncertain spaces — we grow.
