Certified purebred by the clothes that she wore
Rebel by the purple mohawk she sported
Everything about her was a contradiction
Still, there was no doubt she was her own person
The proprietary monogram she had as a name was proof of that
Stripes of red and yellow paired with polka dots
That were purple and orange
Yelled out loud that she had entered the room
Leaving no doubt in her confident defiance of the norms
Everyone envied Grandma’s audacity
So you feel like you’re going to go under
Icy hands of doubt and self-loathing pulling you down into your personal abyss
No way should you just accept what is happening
Keep on treading water and keep looking for the shore. You’ve got this!
So that was the moment he pulled out the engagement ring.
That caught her off guard. She wasn’t ready yet, but was that her doubt talking?
Only here was the large diamond breaking the light into rainbows in her face.
Now was when she had to make the big decision, not later. What should she do?
Eventually that became the bedrock of the rest of her life.

How to be something bigger than oneself
Obeying laws that define their being
Now they move with purpose
Obliterating doubt
Relying on their morality

You know you can do it
Even when you doubt yourself
So long as you allow yourself to say…

So you want to believe in “facts”
Perhaps I could interest you in some “news”
I can see that you doubt my sincerity
Not that I really care

Hurrying down the dimly lit hallway, Chronus kept his mace handy.
Every step he took brought him closer to the dragon
Listening in between breathes, Chronus tried to locate the beast
Perspiration dripped into his eyes, stinging him and causing his vision to blur
Laughter boomed through the space causing Chronus to doubt why he came here
Especially since he didn’t stand a chance to win
Still he let loose a roar as he charged in the direction of the laughter
Sometimes you had to accept your fate
Always wanting some more
Doing whatever it takes to recapture that feeling
Doesn’t last nearly long enough anymore
Instead life crashes in, bringing the darkness and sickness
Causing me to doubt I can survive this trip
Till I take my next fix, but it never cures my brokeness
Devil in the details
Obfuscates the obvious
Undermines confidence
Belittles motivation
Till paralysis kicks in
