Free To Doubt Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Free To Doubt



Can not free themselves,
From doubting.
Or comparisons,
Between themselves to make.
Caught in competitions.
And images addressed to imitate.

Can not free themselves,
From doubting.
Or accept abilities to have,
Others may not.
And spend more time to waste it,
Wanting approval to get nonstop.

Can not free themselves,
From doubting.
Or shopping to find,
Something that defines unique.
Only to discover others,
Hoping the same thing.
Yet still left to doubt,
Concerns they have few care about.

Can not free themselves,
From doubting.
Their own decisions.
Made to premeditate and implement.
Then sit with remorse to wonder why,
No one they knew acted as if surprised.

I like the irony between the title: " Free to Doubt" and the beginning line of each stanza (" cannot free themselves" ;) .
