My Oldest Struggle

More ramblings of my mind

         My Oldest Struggle

I have something hidden inside of me
Something I hope no one ever can see
I actually had to face it just today
It honestly feels like it will never go away

I hope one day to put this from my sight
On days I try to hold it off with all of my might
I wish I could send it away on the next flight
If not could I shove it down and lock it up tight

Some days it can be a constant scare
That I'll wake up and realize you aren't there
Although I already know this not to be true
At times I can't help that it makes me blue

I swear I try so hard to be strong
Most days I am don't get me wrong
But I've never faced anything so stout
As one of my oldest foes self doubt

Nice poem here, really getting into some self-examination here. If this is something you struggle with, just bear courage in mind as much as possible!

As for the poem itself, I like the couplet rhyming scheme, gives it a comfortable feeling. The syllables don't seem to flow so smoothly though, and it gives a choppy meter. I like this poem overall though, and I hope you keep going!

Indeed that one feeling that blinds us to reason and hides our talent, well done good read.
