Self Doubt

Is there really value

In these scratchings on a page

The words so quickly written

Another to engage

In life’s eternal joining

Of our hearts and minds

By sharing thoughts

By which our selves are ever more entwined

The quick burst of emotion

When I read what’s on the page

Tells me yes

And prompts me to continue to engage

And so

I placed these words upon this page



Inspiration / Author Note

There can be value in questioning, but the unfortunate tendancy is to slide into self criticism. Turning that doubt into reflection is a skill worth cultivating.
