the voices that lie
I wish I could take that voice
and throw it out of your mind.
I wish I could pick it up and scream
go!
you are not welcome here!
I wish you would listen to me
and not it.
I wish you could see that
I am not the bad guy
it is.
I wish you would believe me
and not it.
It is hurting you
It is causing you pain.
that voice is lying to you.
I'm telling the truth.
hello!
don't you hear me?
stop tearing yourself down!
you don't deserve this!
please listen to me
that voice gets its turn far too often.
It's my time now
listen to me.
you don't deserve this hate
you didn't do anything wrong
please stop convincing yourself that you did.
