I get
stuck in my head
and have a hard time
getting out.
People tell me to stop overthinking,
to get out of my head.
But it’s a hard place to get out of
once you’re there.
The self doubt.
The voice saying
‘you can’t do this’
is hard to ignore.
I hear the other voices too,
telling me
I’m more than
enough.
But I need to
turn down the doubting me.
Turn down the ‘I can’t do this’
so I can hear those other voices.
The voices that believe in me,
I can hear them
bubbling at the surface
trying to break through.
Years of adjusting
my doubt volume,
turning it down.
It’s still a challenge.
But that won’t
stop me from trying,
from constantly
adjusting my volumes.
Turn down the doubt.
Crank up the believe
until it overpowers and becomes
all that I choose to hear.
