Wrote this when I was in a time where I felt worthless and helpless.
I doubt I'm beautiful I doubt things will go great in my life I doubt i will ever be happy I doubt that my dreams will ever be achieved I doubt I will be a good mother I doubt I'm smart Why doubt so much? I even doubt I'll live to be an old lady Doubts are drowning me inside I don't know why I even exist I'm not good at anything I don't have any talents I doubt I will ever have any talents I know doubting yourself is bad but why do I doubt so much? Is it the devil taking over my mind. If he is he is winning. I feel so stupid and slow, I doubt anyone will ever take me seriously Doubts.... Doubts... Doubts about myself running through my head....
So raw and real, I think that is one of the best things about poetry, its ability to not only express but release emotions that in many ways can help the heart learn and understand life in general, this is powerful, well sculpted work to ponder!
I've been there myself before. Well penned! It really does feel like your minds been high jacked! And taking control is the hardest thing to do especially when you don't trust yourself.
Ahhhh..sweet victory once you overcome! One makes sure to guard the gates of ones mind as to not allow such thought again!
Well expressed!

sometimes, we all pass through such dilemma of life where... the our conscious mind gets so overwhelmed with unconsciousness of same mind, & guess what? --- doubts. doubts. and doubts.. we all embrace in the name of emptiness. what a realistic imagery you get yourself licked into. very heartfelt, of course, it is. metaphorically narrated so well!
