Self Doubt Is Poem by Francis Duggan

Self doubt is a thing many of seem to know
A seed of the mind that from which low self esteem grow
Deflationary to the ego is how it seems to be
For an example of this look no further than me
Self doubt to you can become a mental thief
As it robs you of confidence and self belief
Your best at anything you cannot hope to do
When you have convinced yourself that others are better than you
Those who know of self doubt become their own worst enemies it does seem
Since it strips them of every bit of self esteem
In sports as in life the one of self doubt never does win a race
The one who does finish well off of the pace
Self doubt destroys self confidence and self belief
And in your mind does become a mental thief.
