"Everything you are doing is wrong" these words are etched in my brain I try to run away, I try to will them away but find no escape as they only grow louder and louder My thoughts imprison me They hold me back, they tie me down they wish to suffocate me by drowning me in self-loathing   until there is no part of me left untouched It is only a matter of time For now, I stumble against these words fighting with every ounce I have left but I am tired The words grow louder, they repeat faster encircling me and piling on until they crush me "Everything you are doing is wrong" louder and faster. Again and again Nothing I do now can stop them these words are forever etched in my brain

The mantra
"Everything you are doing is wrong" these words are etched in my brain I try to run away, I try to will them away but find no escape as they only grow louder and louder My thoughts imprison me They hold me back, they tie me down they wish to suffocate me by drowning me in self-loathing   until there is no part of me left untouched It is only a matter of time For now, I stumble against these words fighting with every ounce I have left but I am tired The words grow louder, they repeat faster encircling me and piling on until they crush me "Everything you are doing is wrong" louder and faster. Again and again Nothing I do now can stop them these words are forever etched in my brain
Everytime I am hearing intrusive thoughts, I am jotting them down in an attempt to release them from my system.
