Little Voice

I have a little voice

Inside my head

I always listen to it

And I don't know why.

"You're not pretty"

"You're not good enough"

"No one loves you"

"No one will ever want you"

In my head

Is where it stayed

And told me the same things

Every chance it got.

"You're too fat"

"You're very ugly"

"No one will truly be your friend"

"No one knows you exist"

I listened to the little voice

Every time it spoke its words

And one day I realized

It would never go away.

"You'll always be hated"

"You'll always be lonely"

"No one will ask if you're okay"

"No one will care about you"

Days dragged on

And the voice was still there

Then one day I just gave up

I was lying there cold, hopeless & dead.

The little voice is gone now

And everyone will be glad I'm gone

And then I found out who the little voice was

The little voice...was me.
