SELF DOUBT CREEPS INTO MY HEAD THIS MORNING
AT THIS POINT IT HAS A KEY TO THE FRONT DOOR
COMING AND GOING AS IT WANTS
IT HAS MADE ITSELF AT HOME LIKE SOMEONE WHO HAS OVERSTAYED THEIR WELCOME
HEARING ITS SCRIPT OVER AND OVER AGAIN HAS BECOME SO ROUTINE FOR ME
NOT PRETTY ENOUGH, NOT SMART ENOUGH, NOT GOOD ENOUGH, THE LIST GOES ON
BUT THIS MORNING I TAKE NOTICE OF THAT OVERSTAYED GUEST
THE ALARMS ARE GOING OFF AND THE UNWELCOME GUEST GRABS ITS BAGS AND RUNS OUT
THE REALITY IS THAT IT WILL COME BACK, KNOCKING ON THE DOOR ASKING FOR A WARM PLACE TO STAY
A WOLF IN SHEEP’S SKIN AS IT MAY
BUT I AM MORE AWARE NOW
AND TO SELF DOUBT I SAY, YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME
Stars and Sunsets
