fear, self-doubt, & nerves...

when fear takes over

it sometimes makes me wish

that i had a shovel

i would take all of the feelings

lock them in a box

and bury them deep

when self-doubt takes up residence

it makes me want to go look for an eraser

so that i can erase all of the words

never to let them see the light of day

when my nerves get the best of me

they make me rethink my decisions

and second guess myself

fear, self-doubt, and nerves

make me question my choices

and wonder if i put too much out there

too soon

they force me to try

and not to think about the future

because i can barely deal with my choices

today
