You Want Publicity? You'll Make Headlines When We're Through

Doubt.
A word that crosses the mind,
A word that hexes the heart,
A word that stains the lips.
For once, don't let it stop
You from what is right.

Far-fetched.
A cliche word that hurts,
Scars like the realization
You might never get to where
You truly want to be in life.
When did this affect you so?

Never.
A time period beyond me,
The possibility of never
Getting there, getting to
The place everyone else said
You would never ever reach.

Persevere.
A true verb to take to heart,
Something I know you know
Will get people far in life.
You say you want to make it.
Will you stay long enough?

Us.
A pronoun that never meant
More than a collective term,
But now it stands for fate
Of where you can take this
With us right beside you.
