Shadows of doubt

It suddenly feels so heavy

I can't walk freely

What's this thing lurking behind me?

Let me just run free

In the quiet day, when all is still

I grapple with my thoughts and try to find my will

I'm burdening myself with a pout

Those are my shadows of doubt

They whisper about my fears untold

Ask if I'll be strong enough to hold

The dreams, can I make them real?

Will this pain ever heal?

Shadows of doubt dance in my mind

They leave all scars behind

I wish I hadn't fought battles before

I wish I was strong, more

I'll chase my demons, let my spirit shout

I won't be held captive by the shadows of doubt

I know that I have the strength to find

To banish my doubts, and leave them all behind

I'll rise over clouds and soar

Embrace my courage and even more

No longer chained to doubts, I'm free to be, 

The best version of me the world can see

They whisper about my fears untold

Ask if I'll be strong enough to hold

The dreams, can I make them real?

Will this pain ever heal?

Shadows of doubt dance in my mind

They leave all scars behind

I wish I hadn't fought battles before

I wish I was strong, more
