Doubt

For you to feel as you feel right

By Joshua Lino-da CostaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Who are you to doubt who you are

And what you can do?

It is not for you to judge yourself

But to push beyond all you can try.

Life will throw rocks your way

But it is up to you to shield what is there.

Only you can tackle life’s problems.

Others can share, guide and advise

But it is you that must act.

Only when doubt creeps in and darkness threatens

Can a character be truly tested.

Who are you to be?

You can hide behind doors of sorrow

Or face the day and live for tomorrow.

Choice will cause doubt

But knowledge of your choices can create opportunities.

A wrong choice is not a mistake

But a lesson that had to be learned.

When you can look back at what caused judgement,

Smile at its memory and say you are better for it

Then you have grown into the person you were meant to be.

And it is only when you have become that person

That doubt will become your friend

And you realise that you are better for it.
