Again and again, I find myself in the same place
Stuck in this rut, no momentum, no race
I try so hard, my ambition extinct
A battle I’m losing, no ground to unite
Short of inspiration, a mind of doubt
The days just keep sliding, inside I’m worn out
But I stand again, for another round
Shoulders held high, no surrender I’ve found
I stand to face again and again
Knowing I’ll fight, I’ll make my claim
Memories of despair strengthen the truth
The future I have, not a winding tattoo
My fate and fortune are within my hands
No longer a course in shifting sands
Again and again, I stand for myself
My struggles will make me, no one else

Again and again

Oh baby, you’re late now
Time is ticking, the clock is winding down
Can’t believe you’d make me wait around
The silence is heavy, nothing left to say
I’m standing here, wondering why you’re late
Oh baby, you’re late now
You’re breaking my heart somehow
I’m trying to understand
But it’s hard to take the pain
Oh baby, you’re late now
And I don’t know how
When I look in your eyes
It’s too hard to disguise
This isn’t easy, I’m feeling so blue
I’m questioning everything I thought I knew
My patience is tested, I’m caught in a bind
Can’t help but wonder what I did to deserve this time
Oh baby, you’re late now
You’re breaking my heart somehow
I’m trying to understand
But it’s hard to take the pain
Oh baby, you’re late now
And I don’t know how
When I look in your eyes
It’s too hard to disguise
I should have known better, I should have seen the signs
But I’m still here, standing in line
Thoughts of what might have been swirling in my head
It’s too late now, I can’t turn back timeOh baby, you’re late now
You’re breaking my heart somehow
I’m trying to understand
But it’s hard to take the pain
Oh baby, you’re late now
And I don’t know how
When I look in your eyes
It’s too hard to disguise

Doubt of Recollection
You counselled me, when the days are strenuous and grim, to reminisce when the days luminous and gentle.
But, how do you expect me to be appeased,
When these dismal and rigorous days make me doubt the authenticity of those guileless, euphoric days?

Agony of Denial
She wept to me, inquiring if what she was ablaze for was merited.
And I could only gnaw my lips through a
“Negation.”

There Is Nothing Such As Love
There Is Nothing Such As Love
There is nothing such as love, they say,
A feeling so fleeting, that fades away,
A mirage in the desert, that’s hard to grasp,
A thing of beauty, that’s destined to lapse.The heart, it beats, with a primal need,
A hunger so deep, that’s hard to feed,
Its desires, they change, and fill us with doubt,
A thing of beauty, that’s always in drought.The mind, it wanders, with a restless soul,
A search for meaning, that’s hard to control,
Its thoughts, they race, and fill us with pain,
A thing of beauty, that’s hard to sustain.But still we search, for that elusive thing,
That feeling so pure, that makes our hearts sing,
We hope and dream, that one day we’ll find,
A thing of beauty, that’s always so kind.For there is nothing such as love, they say,
But we still hold on, to that hope every day,
That we’ll find that feeling, that’s worth all the strife,
A thing of beauty, that’s the essence of life.

Drying Out the Fears
Drying Out the Fears
Drying out the fears, drop by drop,
A slow release, a gradual stop.
Tears of pain and sadness flow,
But with each one, strength will grow.Breaking free from the chains of doubt,
Leaving behind the fear and drought.
Hope will bloom, a new day nears,
Drying out the fears.

Bottling up my emotions
Bottling up my emotions
I bottle up my emotions, one by one,
Like a message in a bottle, lost and undone,
I hide them away, deep inside,
And try to forget them, as I abide.But the bottle grows heavy, with each passing day,
The emotions inside, begging for a way,
To be set free, to be let out,
To leave behind the pain and doubt.So I take a deep breath, and let the bottle shatter,
Releasing the emotions, in a clatter,
They spill out like rain, cleansing my soul,
And making me feel, once again whole.

The Sickness Within
The Sickness Within
There is a sickness within me
That eats away at my soul
It feeds on my fears and doubts
And makes me feel less than wholeIt whispers lies in my ears
That I am not good enough
It tells me I am worthless
And that no one will ever loveIt makes me isolate myself
From those who care for me
It makes me push them away
And hide my miseryIt makes me hate myself
And everything I do
It makes me want to end it all
And escape this endless gloomBut there is a part of me
That still wants to fight
That still believes in hope
And that there is a lightA light that can heal me
And chase away the dark
A light that can fill me
With love and joy and sparkA light that comes from within
And from those who stand by me
A light that gives me strength
And helps me to be freeI will not let the sickness win
I will not give up the fight
I will not let it take my life
I will not go gentle into that nightI will face the sickness within
And overcome its power
I will reclaim my soul and self
And live for every hour

Left Alone in the Dark
Left Alone in the Dark
Left alone in the dark,
My thoughts start to embark
On a journey of fear and doubt,
With no light to guide me out.The silence is deafening,
My heart is trembling,
As I try to find my way,
Through the darkness that holds sway.I reach out for a hand,
But there’s no one there to understand,
The pain that grips my soul,
As I struggle to keep control.Left alone in the dark,

I search for a spark,
Of hope to light my way,
And help me face another day.

My Anxious Soul
My Anxious Soul
My anxious soul, a restless tide,
Waves of worry that never subside.
Fear and doubt, a constant fight,
Darkness looming, no end in sight.Searching for peace in a sea of stress,
Longing for calm, a moment of rest.
Hope flickers, a distant light,
Guiding me through the darkest night.

Faith and Doubt
Faith and Doubt
Faith, a beacon shining bright,
Guiding us through darkest night,
Doubt, a shadow lurking near,
Whispering falsehoods in our ear.Faith, a force that can move mountains,
Doubt, a weight that knows no bounds,
In this struggle, we must choose,
To have faith, or to let doubt rule.

The Tangled Web of Insecurity
The Tangled Web of Insecurity
Insecurity’s web is tangled and deep
A maze of doubts that we cannot keep
It traps our minds and clouds our thoughts
Filling our hearts with fear and knotsWe struggle to break free from its hold
To find our way to confidence bold
But the web persists, a constant foe
Insecurity’s grip, a difficult blow

The Ghost of My Insecurities
The Ghost of My Insecurities
The ghost of my insecurities
Haunts me day and night
Whispers of doubt and fear
Cloud my mind with fright
I try to banish it away
But it never seems to leave
The ghost of my insecurities
Is a constant burden I grieve.

The Insecurity Paradox: When Doubt Holds You Back
The Insecurity Paradox: When Doubt Holds You Back
Insecurity is a common experience for many people. It’s that nagging feeling of self-doubt and uncertainty that can hold you back from achieving your goals and living your best life. While a certain amount of self-awareness is healthy, when insecurity becomes a constant presence in your life, it can prevent you from taking risks, trying new things, and pursuing your dreams. This is the insecurity paradox – the very thing that is meant to protect you can also hold you back.
One of the primary ways that insecurity holds you back is through fear. When you’re insecure, you’re often afraid of failure, rejection, or criticism. You might feel like you’re not good enough, or that you don’t deserve success. These fears can paralyze you, making it difficult to take action or make decisions that could help you move forward.
Another way that insecurity can hold you back is through negative self-talk. When you’re insecure, you might constantly criticize yourself or focus on your weaknesses rather than your strengths. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and a lack of confidence, which can make it difficult to pursue your goals.
So how can you break free from the insecurity paradox and move forward in your life? Here are a few strategies to consider:
Identify your triggers – What situations or people tend to trigger your feelings of insecurity? Once you understand your triggers, you can start to develop strategies to manage them.
Practice self-compassion – Instead of beating yourself up for your perceived flaws or mistakes, practice self-compassion. Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, just as you would a good friend.
Challenge negative thoughts – When you notice negative self-talk creeping in, challenge those thoughts with evidence to the contrary. For example, if you’re thinking “I’m not good enough,” challenge that thought with evidence of times when you have been successful.
Take small steps – Rather than trying to tackle your biggest goals all at once, break them down into smaller, more manageable steps. This can help you build confidence and momentum over time.
Seek support – Don’t be afraid to reach out to friends, family, or a therapist for support. Talking through your feelings and experiences with someone you trust can help you gain perspective and develop strategies for moving forward.
Ultimately, the insecurity paradox is about finding a balance between self-awareness and self-doubt. By developing strategies to manage your insecurity, you can break free from the negative cycle of self-doubt and move forward in your life with greater confidence and self-assurance.

Paradox of Human Intelligence
Paradox of Human Intelligence
We seek knowledge to understand the world,
To unravel mysteries that lie unfurled.
But the more we know, the less we see,
The paradox of human intelligence, a mystery.Our minds expand, but so do the doubts,
As we delve deeper, confusion about.
A puzzle we can never fully solve,
The paradox of human intelligence, forever unresolved.

Write To Cry
I put my pen 🖊️to paper 📜
My finger to the keypad 🖥️⌨️ 📲
But the words just wouldn’t flow
They stumbled at the last moment
Self doubt got the better of me
What am I really saying?
Do I want to say anything at all?
Or do I just want to cry?
And let my tears fall
Maybe that’s what I should do?
Leave the pen and paper
Turn off the phone and screen
Just be in this moment
Let the tears fall down my cheeks
~ ❤️ ~
Just one of those days… 😪©VishalDutia
