Overwhelming Doubt

Updated: Oct 8, 2019

Can I do it? Do I have it within me?
 
My doubts are telling me I cannot definitively
 
But more than that, I feel it too
 
A feeling of sickness, what more can I do?
 

 
I must gain control, or I'll forever be controlled
 
I must change this, so my story can unfold
 
But the doubt is overwhelming, it shackles me
 
And while I know the key lies within my mind, simply knowing does not set me free
 

 
It's like asking a dying man to accept a new reality, despite living without it through the years
 
He may know he must accept it, perhaps he has always known, but time and practice would be the best way to defeat his fears
