Self worth

Self worth is a thing
That builds up your life
Do the ones you respect
See you in that light

Why should I worry
Why should I fear
The ones I respect
I give them my ear

Do lift me up
Say a kind word
By your action show
I have been heard

From enemy to friend

Self doubt

Self doubt is my friend?
It sticks up its head
It says I can’t do it
Would rather be dead

Gets my attention
Says what will they think
You’ll fall on your face
Performance will stink

But I have a secret
A weapon so grand
No longer has fear
A hold on my hand

The weapon is strong
Abides in my heart
Push back the fear
Before it can start

The weapon is love
Abiding within
Drives out the fear
Knows I can win

When doubt comes along
See it as friend!
A gentle reminder
Of love deep within

Turn from that path
Of torment you face
Latch on to grace
And love do embrace

Let love come out
And radiate strong
Reach out from within
Help others along

Don’t do it yourself
But come along side
Of others to help
And love to abide.
