I am not alone in my mind The Echoing corridors Home to the unknown Turning corners Wondering When I will run into something Someone? Or Some creature. A leech Taking advantage Of my fragile thoughts Feeding off of my insecurities So I try to have none I Strive towards confidence like holy water Dousing my consciousness in hope that I might convince them to leave Or maybe I'm just trying to convince myself And maybe the leech is self doubt.

The leech
I am not alone in my mind The Echoing corridors Home to the unknown Turning corners Wondering When I will run into something Someone? Or Some creature. A leech Taking advantage Of my fragile thoughts Feeding off of my insecurities So I try to have none I Strive towards confidence like holy water Dousing my consciousness in hope that I might convince them to leave Or maybe I'm just trying to convince myself And maybe the leech is self doubt.
The first line came from a journal one of my classmates presented, and it inspired me to write this.
