Head over heart

68 8 8
                                    

You say it will be Ok 

And that all I have to do 

is not be so hard on myself

But it's not that easy.

I cannot stop these thoughts

encircling my mind each day.

Their harsh words cut deep

puncturing wounds harder.

I never knew the voices in my

head could hurt so much.

Their cruel words tell me I can't

or that I'm too stupid to succeed.

When really in my heart I know 

you are right, as you always are.

But my head will always utter my

weaknesses over my heart.
