Self-Doubt


I thought that I trusted you
But yet, Everyday I still question you
Why oh why can't I ever just believe in you
Even though you are usually right, 
I still have trouble believing in you. 
But really who are you? 
You are me. 
You are my brain. 
Sometimes you drive me insane. 
 
 
 
I love you, yet I hate you
You always cause me to overthink
You are my darkness
But you are also my light 
Please, let us stop this fight
Please just let me take flight 
Stop holding me back 
Holding me back from taking risks
Opportunities 
You can’t hold me back anymore
I don’t trust you
I trust me
My work is worthy 
My performance is worthy 
I am worthy
 
 
 
 
Stop looking down on me
Stop looking down on what I do
Stop making me live a life of darkness 
Let me live a colorful life 
No worries
No doubt 
No questions 
No regrets
 
 
 
 
You do not own me
I own you
It is my turn to look down on you, 
Just like you always do on me
I plan to make you realize 
Realize your worth
Your talent
Your true colors 
So, stop questioning me. I know what I am talking about. 
You have been with me for years, 
Yet you still have no faith in me. 
It is time, time that you see you should have faith in me. 
 
 
 
 
 
Stop living a life in black and white, 
Let your imagination take flight 
You are worth it
Everything will be alright. 
Start living your life in the light
