Are you capable or are you not?
That is the other question. 

Always becoming 
and never ending
Climbing and climbing 
an endless red staircase
(but it is bright and
accompanied by a
rising melody)

Try this for a change: 

Give your most doubting self
a name and personality. 
I’ll call mine Emilio. 
I’ll listen to what they have to say
with an open ear, I’ll listen, 
and then politely reply,

“Sorry, Emilio,
but shut the fuck up
while I do this.”
