The worst thing in life has to be self doubt

You know that feeling;
The slight tremor in your hands
The little twitch in your eye
The trail of ice running through your veins
The instinct that you are going to fail.
Yes, that feeling.

Self doubt.

It arrests you, keeps you on the spot
Assures you that you're not good enough, that you'll never be good enough.
It keeps you rooted
Emasculated
Grounded
Humble
Gelded
Patient
Ordinary
Normal.

You'll never be special; no questions asked.
You'll never have to try; the risk of failure is too high.
You'll never have to walk; that way, you never get to fall
You'll never have to be high, because after high comes low

It could be worse, but you'll never ever have to know

The worst thing in life has to be self doubt.
