On The Cusp

One of my struggles, to overcome.

Confidence

So easy to lose

Whether you're

A child or an adult.

And so very hard

To regain it

Back.

A struggle

I know very well

From personal experience

After many years of physical

And psychological abuse.

Starting

As a young child

Continuing onwards

Throughout my adult years.

Questioning

Every single move

Or action taken.

Finding myself

Having to answer

My inner critic's 

Acidic attacks.

Until it becomes

Paralysis by analysis.

Scared

To make any move

As fear of screwing up

Fills me

Yet again.

While tears of frustration

Fills my eyes

Threatening to unleashing

A torrent of anguish

With no control.

I want to break

This viscous circle

Which consumes me.

But not knowing

How.
