NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF

Never doubt yourself

Doubt devastates your efforts.

It’s a poison that seeps into your heart

And kills you from within.

Your failures are too filthy

To call you a loser;

And your achievements are too petty

To assert you the winner.

There’s still lot to be done.

Your dreams are yet to be accomplished.

A long path that needs to be treaded,

A large part of life that needs to be lived

Before you call it the end.

So, don’t let this noisy rumble

Trample your soul and hit you hard.

It’s time you get up and hit it back.

The wave of commotion that prevails

Must not coerce you

To envisage your future

As a barren dreary land

Of broken dreams and sulky men.

Let the wind of doubt

Breeze through your heart

Leaving it unaffected and untarnished.

Stop being afeared of public opinion

That’s detrimental to your soul.

Do not belittle yourself

You are worthy of everything.
