A life cycle of doubt
It methodically creeps
like a cunning thief
pilfering
that which is most precious
and dear
Causing shadows
to quietly darken
disintegration of faith—
slowly
crumbles away
anxiety
becomes
the rule
not the exception
Internal calls of sanctuary,
muffle to unheard
a hard grasp
vicegrips
twisting
streams of confidence
Lungs burn
sparse air
life, barely trickles
O' the struggle of breath
within such a stagnant
vacuum
Leaving
nothing
but
densely
corrosive
silence
to
perfectly
permeate
the last
vestiges
of
authentic
certitude.

Everyone doubts themselves sometimes in their life. We fight for confidence. Keep on writing.

Re: Re. A life cycle of doubt
Hey there, S
Seems you were right and my stubborn sense of self just needed to contemplate and clear my head for a little while..... lol...
Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts with me.
I am glad you could feel some worthiness within the intent, here. This was actually written before I left, just never published, so I have yet to write anything really 'new'... Hopefully there will be something floating around within my wee sphere of inspiration, to put from pen to paper, soon.
Lol...
Much obliged, for your visit and the very lovely comments.
See you soon, I hope

It's an excellent poem. You could describe doubt very deeply and effectively. This is what every person goes through, but have you got an idea about the solution?

Re: Re. A life cycle of doubt
Hey there, Joseph :)
I very much appreciate you reaching out to leave me your thoughts and generous insights.
I think everyone is different, in their personalizations of self doubt, so what works for one might not work for all.... For myself, I bask in
it — whatever particular self doubt that happens to be weighing down in a given moment; allowing it to wash over me. Then try my best to write it out of my system ... I purge that intense, terrible nagging sensation of "less than" via pen and paper....Most of the time it helps, exponentially..... When I need more visceral / physical purging, I walk or workout...
Just my own little ways of coping!
Thanks for sharing with me, my lovely friend.
It's always a pleasure to see you 🦋

This is excellent poetry.
"It methodically creeps
like a cunning thief"
"Causing shadows
to quietly darken
disintegration of faith"
"vicegrips
twisting
streams of confidence"
Those are my favorite lines.
This is just truly excellent writing. Your use of words is very skilled.

I don't think I can properly express just how moving and meaningful that is to me. Your insightful feedback motivates and acts as a sourced well of inspiration—recharging me with intention.
How can I thank you!?!?... I shall try to my very best my lovely friend 🙏🏻
Here's to the mutual shimmerings of recognized and shared emotions and all of my heartfelt gratitude for your generous nature!

Wonderful and insightful write Blue. I always enjoy your style when it comes to these closers, these closing lines spaced out more for dramatic effect.
Bravo!
