Zywa Doubt and Confidence

In case of doubt you must
dare
and lose your balance momentarily
have confidence in yourself
that you will be all right

Dare to do
what you doubt
whether you will do it
or dare to doubt
against everything

and not to do
what is expected of you
what you thought to expect
from yourself, that you would dare
to do anyway, doubtingly

In case of doubt you must
dare
and not lose your balance
have confidence in yourself
that you can go a way of your own
