When you live with the critic It makes life more difficult The roommate from hell Who never applied for the space Just moved on in And won't shut the **** up Looking over your shoulder Pointing out Everything your doing that's Stupid and wrong Turning the mirror into a Toxic reflection pool Telling scary stories About who you've never been & Should have been Insomnia & anxiety wrapped up in a gigantic cringe, a gift, no doubt. The battle is a finger puzzle The more you struggle The more painfully stuck You become Continually looping While trying to make it stop. And it never does. I don't listen to the critic much any more It comes and goes And that's okay With me In the end Peaceful acceptance is all I Try to remember.
