I look in the mirror but I don’t see my face.

It’s something else talking my place.

A demon taking over me…

I hear stories about the monsters that hide under kid’s beds,

This one is a little closer.

Voices In my head.

I look around in fear,

But no one else is ever there.

But I know I’m not alone.

No matter how empty this room is…

And sometimes I can’t help but think,

I’m never going to be the me, that I used to be.

I’m never going to be strong.

I’m always wrong.

And I can’t get the confidence I need.

Too many monsters being mean.

Too many demons inside me…


The author's comments:

We tend to criticize ourselves more than anyone else does. So this is just my thoughts on what is happening in those moments we are judging ourselves. I hope you can find some relation to it, even in the simplest way.
