           Within there is a demon
            it's hiding deep inside
            it holds onto your spirit
           as it messes with your mind.

           It feeds upon your fears
          and tries to break your will
         keeping your thoughts racing
       your mind not allowed to be still.

         There is no rhyme or reason
         as to why it stays hiding there
        consuming all of your thoughts
       each day turns into a nightmare.

          It slowly invades your soul
        and it makes you want to shout
      it's that little voice inside your head
       it's that demon that we call doubt.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

I'm sure we're all familiar with this particular demon. Very well expressed!

So true. Doubt is such a diablo. Beautifully expressed here, I think it will strike a chord with all who read it.

My friend ... this is excellent~

I have met the demon from time to time ...
but have learned to call him out
sometimes in my rhyme~

He can sulk and banty
but there is no doubt ...
He has lost his identity ...
for I have called him out~

*hey ... thanks for the mini-inspire~
Love n' bushels of *Hugs*

Don't give him room in your gentle spirit. He will move on. Joyce

This is extremely well penned, my friend.
I think we have all met that demon of doubt
at various times in our lives.
You've described it well.

I have passed on grabbing many brass rings in life because of the "D" word! However, whenever I was able to cast the doubts back to the devil's domain, I was given wings from the heavens above and I was able to fly successfully!

~ May all your doubts and fears just drift away!

You know I think I have heard this little demon myself. I do my best not to listen to that awful demon.

Hi
Just read a group of your poems

Did not think it fair to comment on each individually
But this one drew me back
