Toxic Doubt

Hello Doubt
Welcome back - frequent flyer
You pull in uncomfortable directions
Forcing questions…
All goodness
All troubles
All hopes
From this perch
I worry and run circles
I seek answers that don’t exist
And I see the threads I pull from my mind heaped on the floor

Congrats on top story! 🥳
Congrats on top story.
Definitely relatable, with great word choice too! Short and cutting.
Oof, relatable. The idea of doubt being a frequent flyer, I get that. Just let it fly through!
“Frequent flyer” is an amazing choice for doubt- it carries so many images… my mind is revelling in them
Congrats on top story! Got a lot of doubts swirling in my head here this week
Doubt always has such a strong pull; we are its puppet, and it plays with our strings. A strong poem, and I adore that last line. Very well written, and just know you're far stronger than the doubt, Archery 🤗
This one hits home!! Doubt may visit often, but it doesn’t get to redecorate the place. Let it pass through, not move in.✨
Doubt can truly zap all the energy out of a person can’t it.
I felt the unravelling. Just pick those threads up. They'll knot back together, I reckon.
