Self-Doubt

What could be the cause of the delay
of my succes in life?
I seem constantly moving forward
and yet I never amount to anything but failure.
I keep trying and strife for the best.
Until my insights stop me dead in my tracks.
It never was anybody's fault but my own.
The self-doubt was my demon who kept me back.
The uncertainty of my actions reflected
in the results of my attempts.
And all that I tried was doomed to begin with.
If I see past my own delusions
and persist in my endeavors,
I'll see and reach my goals.
No matter which obstructions come my way.
