Doubt

I'm starting to doubt myself. 

And what I want and need. 

I'm starting to act like an idiot.

Forgive me for finding my own flaws.

Forgive me for being who I am.

I'm starting to doubt myself,

And everything I believe in.

I'm starting to forget where I stand.

Forgive me for being who I am.

Forgive me for asking stupid questions.

I'm doubting myself,

More than ever.

And I'm starting to doubt others.

If I'm wrong, forgive me. 

If I'm not, forget me.

I'm doubting myself,

All over again.

And I can't help but be who I am.

I shouldn't have to apologize,

For what is on my mind.

I shouldn't have to worry

About hurting other people's feelings all the time.

I'm just me.

I can't help but speak what's on my mind.

I can't help that I don't know what's going on.

Doubt washes over,

And I always ruin everything.

I can't help it...

Very honest and true poem. I especially like the opening lines because I feel that way sometimes as well.
