Poetry to Ignite the Soul: Doubt
Doubt seeps in through every crack, every orifice, every doorway left ajar. It seeps and it sits, heavy, like rocks in an ocean And you try to reach the surface and gasp for air. But the tide is rising and every time you get close to relief it is further out of reach Sometimes it…
