Doubt


 

She’s so smart

She’s got the answers

 

Fallin apart, 

Like a girl with cancer

 

Never sick

She is strong

 

It makes her tick

when she is wrong

 

She is wrong everyday, in every hour, in every way

Has no clue what to make of her aching heartbreak

Her soul is lost in the black shadows of her desires

Her sad mind is full of grey illusions and liars

She doesn’t know 

She doesn’t know 

She doesn’t know 

She doesn’t know

 

Losing her mind

Dubbed as brilliance

 

Left behind

Has no resilience 

 

What she wants

Is so unclear

 

Echoing taunts 

Of her darkest fears

 

She is dying from her pain, from her thoughts, going insane

With dashed dreams and forgotten hopes erased from her brain

Doesn’t know who she is or where she’s going

And she feels that her agony will never stop growing

She doesn’t know 

She doesn’t know 

She doesn’t know 

She doesn’t know

 
She knows that truth
Is not what she thinks
 
Gradual change
Is on the brink 
 
Constant doubt is poison, she now knows
Her darkest fears have begun to glow
 
Belief in her power has replaced the taunts
Affirmative in what she now wants
 
She is beautiful everyday, in every hour, in every way
Even though life's pains have ceased to fade away
Crow's feet have begun to form around her eyes
Because finally she understands where true power lies
She doesn’t know 

She doesn’t know 

She doesn’t know 

She doesn’t know

Why she ever thought herself so low
