Dear Doubt


Dear Doubt,

 

It’s been a while

Since I’ve talked to you

But you’ve been talking to me

Constantly saying that the false is true

 

So I want to take this opportunity

And confront the issues that you’ve caused

I know about my flaws

But you need to hear this from me

 

Just because I’m not perfect

Doesn’t mean that I can’t be successful

It doesn’t mean that I can’t be sure of the truth

You’ve told me the opposite for the entirety of my youth

 

This letter is a promise

That I’m putting my foot down

The line has been drawn in the sand

I will try to be clear so that you fully understand

 

You have no place in my mind

So leave

Get out

A life without you will be well received

 

For I am fully confident

In my intended life path

I don’t need you to keep asking me

“Will you really be happy?”

 

You’re unwillingness

To accept my resolve

Is why along with being informative

This is a farewell letter

 

A farewell to uncertainty

And a farewell to your lies

For contrary to your whispers

My potential is higher than the sky

 

And my path is set for greatness

Something you know nothing of

You only try to pull me down

But I am now climbing high above

Where you reside

 

So depart from me

You’ve had a good run

But unfortunately for you

The night is over

And here comes the sun
