The Voice Inside Your Head

Would you be friends

with the voice inside your head?

"You're ugly."

"You're stupid."

"No one loves you,"

it said.

Would you be friends

"You're gross."

"You haven't any friends,"

it said

Who is this voice

inside of your head?

"It's you.

It's you.

Only you,"

he said.

"You're perfect."

"You're pretty."

"I love you,"

he says.

"He's lying."

"He's cheating."

"Don't believe him,"

it said.

Would you be friends

with that voice in your head?

"No."

"You wouldn't."

"Stop listening,"

I said.

"You're beautiful."

"You're talented."

"You're worth it,"

I said.

This voice,

it's a poison.

It's toxic,

my friend.

It's wrong.

It's stupid.

It's ugly,

my friend.

Be bold.

Be beautiful.

Be you,

my friend.

Because you,

only you,

are the voice

in your head.

You can change

what it thinks.

You can change

what it says.

It's you.

It's you.

Only you,

my friend.
