little by little i can feel it
gnawing away at my insides
inching and squirming its way
up my spine
or lack thereof

i'm colored yellow and
scared to admit that maybe
i'm not good enough
to see this through
to the end

if there is even
an end in sight
despite all my might
i've lost the courage
to stand and fight
even when all of
my being
knows it's right

    i hope you can see
    the vision i have in mind
    that transpires in the
    pages

w h e r e   d o e s   m y   r u i n   l i e

i s   i t   i n   m y   w o r d s

you can call it what
you want
but that won't
make a god damn
difference
when insecurity
is eating me
alive

how does one know
if their passion
is worth pursuing

how does one know
if their talent
is more than just
misguided delusion

if this is the

             edge

i'm slowly tipping
and i'm not sure
i want to catch
myself
this time  
Never give up on your dreams. No matter what.

You've done a really fantastic job capturing the self criticism and doubt that everyone experiences at one point or another.  Artists and creative types in general seem to be more prone to it than others, and it was interesting to see it put down in words.  Well done! :clap:
