Doubt
Doubt is such a tricky thing
It occupies the mind
The more it lingers all the more
Your thinking will rewind
It may serve as a warning
But sometimes it frustrates
’Cause he who lacks conviction
Won’t act but simply waits
And the waiting is exhausting
It will put your trust on freeze
Your hope will start to crumble
If there is no quick release
Doubt is like a forest fire
That will destroy for sure
But once the damage has been done
Nature will restore
The same with doubt, one can’t deny
No matter what the cause
Whenever fearful or in doubt
It’s wise to stop and pause
Reflect, inspect, and scrutinize
Retrace if so need be
And soon you will be grateful that
You now can clearly see.
