dubiousness

That my sweet was awesome, all doubt us like a poison seeping through our hearts. Self doubt or doubt in others brings a shade everywhere it touches

Hey there, Ron.
I wholly agree and very much appreciate your thoughtful comments. I try to not let my doubts infiltrate to color everything in that particular 'grey' ....I'm definitely a work in progress... Thanks for the compliment, the list add and all your awesome support and encouragement.  

Much love,

It is a long way up from the bottom of the ocean where this poem as left me. Cold and forlorn, I believe I'll stay awhile existing within your poem. Hoping for a love poem but reading something else that gives love poems power and beauty. Today I name you Ania - goddess of sorrow. One of many faces, sorceress.

Ahhh, my lovely poet from across this cyber realm.... you so enchant. I treasure your comments and I bask in your loveliness with a smile laced of sorrow yet tempered of a steadfast hope. My sorcery is of wonderment and fired from flames that burn deep and mostly pure....however there's always a need for darkness, in some delicious form or fashion.... Oh how it brightens  the day to be that much more exquisite.....

My gratitude is yours, for the amazing comments and the extremely generous list add....

The pleasure is mine,

He crushed your heart, with time it heals and love will find again.  Keep on writing you strong beautiful smart sexy woman.

It's only doubt that crushes, sometimes... yes, we learn from and continue to grow and create...
Thanks, Francisco

Dear BV,

Like a surgeons knife you cut right to the hideous growth of self doubt and the damage I can do to myself without any help from the outside world telling me how worthless I am. “ Harsh,
is the residue
of doubt” and “ confusing thoughts
darkening
a souls luster” sum it up so completely I feel like I needn’t say another word. I’m not sure why I insist on pulverizing myself but there you have it. I suppose tomorrow is another opportunity to reinvent myself but I really like how you make it okay to feel whatever it is to feel. Great write.

Thanks for the solidarity, Honoria!
I know it's somewhat universal, how easy it is to beat ourselves up with crippling doubt... yet, I kinda feel exactly like you said... it's ok!! I think giving yourself permission to feel and examine that insecurity.. whatever doubt that plagues, takes away some of it's power and punch. Holding it up and inspecting it in the sunlight, makes for a better easier tomorrow... in my experience....

I so appreciate your thoughtfulness in your sentiments and I'm extremely grateful for the list add, my lovely lady.

My day is made so much better when I see you 🦋

Ugh! So sorry to have droned on in my original comment. I didn’t realize how personally I took this write. I guess it knocks the wind out of me when I think how life long negative chat can last as it morphs in the heads of the receivers. Well, the effects of this poem goes to show what a great writer you are. Thanks for lending an ear. 👂🏻Xx

Dear BV,
You are a versatile poet. You can write about any subject you like very deeply. Your writing about doubt is very deep and expressive, but it doesn't fit you. You are a young, beautiful woman. It fits you much more to write about happy subjects. I don't know how such a gloomy subject could enter your happy heart.

Hi Joseph!
It's always a pleasure! 🦋  
You made me smile from ear to ear with your extremely kind remarks, my friend. I humbly thank you and so appreciative it.  

Sometimes a little bit darkness makes the light that much sweeter...  

You left me a great deal to ponder and I certainly will! My complete thanks for the list add and lovely sentiments.

Please, don't be a stranger :)

I’ll be coming back to ponder this one a few times. Self doubt is the devil. Allowing others to help us sow those seeds is monstrous. It takes a strong resolve to come back from those depths.
Terrific write.

Eerie,
You certainly understand and completely nailed the essence of others feeding into that awful toxicity of self doubt. It's definitely a hard lesson learned to weed out THAT particular kind of predator personality, indeed! The good news is, once you know, you effing know!!... and can spot them a mile away. I agree that resolve and willpower is needed in epic amounts when initially coming to terms with the doubt that plagues.... it's keeping on task and not letting insecurity grow, once recognized, that's also the bitch. I drag mine into the sunlight and try and burn it all away..... In my mind it weakens my dependency!! Ha! 😂

I appreciate your thoughtful comments, the generosity of your list add and the joy of knowing that we're never alone in certain tough emotional undertakings.... It might be a little fucked up, but I take comfort in that!

Much love and respect your way, ✨

Oh B ... this is my theme song ... truly ... gripping on so many levels ... great form ... the layout on the page has a periodicity ... like an EKG ... love the bold face of "darkening" ... making it darker ... clever ... then the long break before the final stanza ... "probing uncertainty" ... the gold nugget at the end of the poetry rainbow ... well crafted ...

Ohh my lovely friend!
Your feedback made my night... Seriously!... I have had such weird and harsh days recently that it's the little things that soothe like a literary balm for my angsty soul... lol...  

My internal 'Doubting Thomas' loves that solidarity you've shared with me.... My reasonable side, sends all kinds of forgiveness, knowing that hard reality.

I'm so glad(grateful) you enjoyed reading and found all the positives within... beyond words, really....

You have all my gratitude and thanks for the lovely sentiments, the list add and your openness in sharing. Your support means the world.

Much love, my dear poetess 🙏🏻

You penetrate into the heart of doubt as the leech it can be feeding off our hope. No one can take this subject and make it into an epic of the human struggle with doubt. You are a poet who does more than write on life but delves deep into the marrow of what human existence is all about.

Life /Existence isn't all love and rainbows, as you well know! It's the dark and the light.. the good and the bad.... good times and the hard times... birth and death.... etc... Hopefully we're able to temper each side with the other to allow the seesaw of life to be more centered and not bottom us out, leaving devastation .... lol.... or something like that... 😂

I am so grateful and glad you enjoyed it, John.

It's truly incredible to feel how extremely lucky and fortunate I am to have your amazingly insightful and inspiring feedback to reflect upon...I don't ever take it for granted....

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
🙏🏻 - 💙

In all honesty I was like that at one point in my life. I left so many questions unanswered in a moment of rage. Paid for it for the longest time.
Never again.

Intriguing write Blue.
