Voices

You're no good You hear the voices tell you. You're to fat They whisper in your ear. You'll never be enough They say louder to you. You're just pathetic The voices scream to you. And you know it's true. Everything they say It's all true. And you listen to the voices And you understand them. You believe them And you trust them. Because all the voices Are you!

Good reminder that you can bully yourself. It doesn't always have to be other people. They always did say that you are your own worst enemy!

Wow! Belt it out lady, it's the only way to rid yourself of those inaccurate voices. It may sound like your voice, but it's not!! Someone or more put them there in your formative years and tricked you into believing they are true. I know this cause it was done to me too. Positive self-talk only :), jill

Thanks :) It's feelings and thoughts that I've struggled with for as long as I can remember. I know that they all stem from people or events in my life and I've buried them for a long time. But putting into words the things I feel make those voices have less power over me.
