i believe, therefore i am

Once bitten, twice shy.
It usually isn't the case for me.
For some reason,
It does, this time.
In some uncertain way.
Could it be that I'm doubting myself?
That I'm not that good after all?
Or could it be that it really is...
Once bitten, twice shy?

I keep thinking...
That if I don't speak of it,
It will turn out alright.
But...
That one time when I turned my back,
I got blindsided.
Blindside, Blindsight
And on hindsight...
...What...?

To be blindsided
To have hindsight
In retrospect...
I don't think in those terms.
It just is.

Things don't change.
We change them.
Circumstances don't change.
We influence them.

But when it comes to this,
I have faith, yet.
When I believe...
I just do.

Strong enough of a belief.
