Inner Conflict

 

Wake up

Confidence overflowing

Potential conqueror with

Delusions of grandeur

Undeterred by past failings

Today will mark

The ascent to greatness

Afternoon brings with it

Gnawing gremlins of doubt

Striking down dreams

Steering toward the abyss

Of self doubt and

Loathing

Night brings horrors

Taunting shadows

Lurk in the periphery

Of consciousness.

In the gleam of predawn

An angel whispers to take heart

Each day brings a new opportunity

Try again
