"And dear I feel that ship is sinking"

Doubt. Why is it that doubt in ourselves can bring us down, yet if someone out there doubts you- people tend to go out of their way to prove that person wrong. If anything another persons doubt in us can empower us to prove that person wrong. But there's also the chance for failure, in trying to prove someone wrong we by accident prove them right; which can send a person falling further into their already half-dug pit of self doubt.

Self doubt. It's a horrible thing to feel. You feel worthless. It screws with your mind. It sticks you on a little iceburg of isolation. You watch as you float away from those you love. As you drift away though, you don't realise that the people who are really there for you have swum round behind your iceburg and are basically just alot closer than you think.

But sometimes you don't turn around. Keeping up with this iceburg analogy-you don't realise anyone cares. So you do stupid things, like swim back the way you've drifted from, leaving the people you love behind you.

Basically, doubt is just one of those things that makes you do stupid things. But if you're lucky, it can also make you a stronger person. If you're unlucky then well it can just make you sad.
