Look at you.
No.
You’re grotesque.
Stop.
You’re stupid.
I’m not.
Who could love that?
Go away.
You’re worthless.
No.
You’re so messed up.
Stop it.
They don’t really like you.
That can’t be true.
They laugh behind your back.
Do they?
Nobody could want you.
Please…
You’re –
Don’t say it.
…all—
No…
…alone.
Forever.

This poem is about the negative voices that threaten to overcome our minds. If not stopped, you will begin to believe the lies of the voices.
