Inner Voices

"You aren't good enough"

"You're going to fail"

"You are useless"

"You are nothing"

"You're all alone"

Can't stand the murmurs

Hateful voices

Inside my head

Twisting the words of others into cruilty

Only the hurtful messages make their way through

Struggling to find the light

Hands only grasp at emptiness

Darkness creaps in

My voice is fading

Only their words can be heard

"You aren't good enough"

"You're going to fail"

"You are useless"

"You are nothing"

"You're all alone"

As Don says it can take a lot to bear what you feel about yourself. We all too easily get bound by the negative comments that are made about us or simply by no comments which we can assume all too easily as negatives thoughts. Well done in sharing this. But you have no reason to own this just as Dorothy has stated.
I look forward to reading more of your work
Nice one

Bearing on WOL
Your innermost soul
Takes courage and guts
But helps make one whole

Sharing on screen
Your troubles and pain
Takes courage and guts
You share, we all gain

I know you can do it
Of that I've no fear
You have got the courage
To go on, persevere

D

(As DoRoThY says, keep sharing. The best medicine)
