Notoriously, her own worst enemy
Riddled with ongoing insecurities
I can’t
I’m not good enough
What a farce
She chides
Frozen in self-doubt
A hindrance no doubt
She wavers
Dizzyingly on the edge
Dangling on the precipice
Of change
Clashing affirmations and negations
A powerful mental tide
I can’t
You can
Just do it
A falter, toes meet ledge
Heart drumming
Eyes close
A spiritual soar
A leap of faith
Finally, success
