Bad little Things

By Loneal

Fear
is a vicious
{little}
thing

suddenly wrapping itself around the mind
suffocating it with false ideas
of doom and futile efforts
anticipated to leave one
powerless
pointless
just plain less
than reality shows us.

Doubt
is a nasty
{little}
thing

secretly digging tunnels 'neath confidence
undermining it with hidden caverns
of failing belief and dying dreams
that leave behind one
trustless
faithless
just plain less
than life's joys show us.

    Makes me think of the Native American Tale of the two wolves residing within. One represents fear, the other hope. They start out scrawny and weak, and they fight each other. The one that gets fed the most, becomes the strongest and wins.
