Perseverance

For the "Don’t Turn Around" Challenge

A familiar feeling has surfaced

The same feeling that hits at this time

The same entity that haunts me when I enter a challenge

Doubt--unadulterated doubt

Doubt--a frightening creature

Doubt--an unforgiving entity

Doubt--can be crippling if one let's it be

But I can defeat it

My passion for writing will help

My refusal to give up will guide me

My belief that I will win will keep me going

So doubt, step off

Doubt, fly away

Doubt, there's no place for you

Only one thing will keep me going

As I make this poetic entry

And that's the sweet feeling of perseverance
