Having Self consciousness and Self doubt

Having Self consciousness  and self doubt.

 

Self conscious and doubt,
is never about the truth.
Is not something solely, contributed to youth.
I am six foot three and
weigh 238 pounds,
but sometimes feel so small,
In my every day surrounds.
The way I look and feel,
sound and am portrayed.
Doesn\'t help my confidence,
for it is then delayed.
The smallest of criticism,
Makes all my cards then fall,
Doesn\'t take that much,
For me to meet my wailing wall.
These feelings that both young and old have to the bitter end.
Is not something you\'d want to give, even to your poorest friend.
After 57 years I\'ve learned to put it in a store,
All this negativity, behind a closed and locked big door.
