Doubt and fear

Doubt and fear
linger always waiting
they grab at the edges of my mind
trying to get in

doubt and fear
molding all my thoughts
into nothing
taking my freedom
and holding me off

doubt and fear
hold me captive
making my every move
stealing my individuality
tearing at my soul

doubt and fear
creating an empty void
a black hole more or less
tears streak down my face

doubt and fear
is causing these tears
even though
i don't want them
making me as usless as dirt

doubt and fear
never seen
always there
causing pain
leaving no room for hope

doubt and fear
leave me with only pain
and no way to escape it
never seen but always here
