How can I love myself When the voices in my head tell me I don’t deserve it? A constant companion of self doubt that won’t quit Telling me it hates me and that I should ******* die A hundred thousand critics residing within my minds eye You tell me that I’m strong You say that I’m a hero for being able to survive Yet my league of disparagers makes it easy to contrive A million different reasons for me slit my wrist If only the voices in my psyche and I could coexist So how can you say I’m pretty When my long term phantoms disagree I’d cut my veins and swollen pills if I could only guarantee That every voice, flicker and spirit would evacuate my soul Because at least if I **** myself, then I’ll be in control
