PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm being assailed by an unfathomable amount of self

doubt

even though my horizon has alas broadened still about

the heart there is a slight pinch and a pout

why me? why not miss plain Jane Smith who lives a

house or two down the street

how ironic though that in this fight I've just now won

up until the end I thought I had been beat

I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm more than just a

little scared

my soul to the entire continent I have lain none to comfortably to the ground and openly bared

for this very thing I seem to have much too much

style and flair

to think, just a mere few days ago I wouldn't have

even considered taking on such a dare

but to have a talent for writing

and never have the chance to be equally read

now, to me that just isn't fair

everyone gets a little something out of their lives

so what, if one or two along the way get or take a

little more than his or her share.............
