Strings of Doubt

We sometimes get caught in our own web. Afraid to let go of past trauma or present mistakes or the fear of the future being a repetition of the past. It can be difficult to let go and allow oneself to be open, vulnerable and genuine. Self-doubt and lack of self-worth can be devastating and even the smallest feelings can team up against us to prevent us from trying to find true happiness and love

Strings of Doubt

Tied to these Lilliputian dreams

Building houses from these doubts

To hide my heart from sorrows

Brought on in future droughts

Afraid to forge tomorrows

For fear of yesterday

Cautious to light these fires

Afraid you'll run away

Both built-in and burnt out

The features of this bug

Guilt in-built but crossed out

Immolation of past-selves

Tethered to these superstitious circles

Where do I fit in this machine?

Tracks that come back in repetitious cycles

Am I worth remembering?

Underground and out of sync

Despite serendipity in the way we meet

Roll out these red carpet apologies

Hoping for these red letter days

I openly confess, I'm horrendously sentimental

Seeking omens, portents of romantic potential

A flame isolated, a Gulliver less traveled

Holding onto hope that, my chances aren't unraveled

Pluck these heart strings and my soul sings

And what a beautiful sight with the stars in your eyes

Caught up in a web of my own design

With these kissing lips left wondering

Afraid to cut these bindings off

Cut the awkwardness to make this effortless

Afraid because my timings off

Hoping I'm really worth the effort

Feeling sputtered and stalled out

Can I really become the one you want?

Gripped too tight, need to loosen up

Until I've got no strings to hold to me down
