Notes About The Poem

Insecurity

Get out of your head...
Muffle that lying, doubting voice 
In your head
Turn off that voice of defeatism 
Screaming into your ear 
So loudly you grow 
Gradually deaf
And you're bamboozled 
Into believing your best 
Isn't good enough, because it is!
Never believe you're unlovable
Because you are, in every way 
No, you're not weak. 
You're the opposite!
You're not worthless;
You're a precious jewel.
Reject that inner voice
Telling you you're destined 
To fail...
at happiness, 
     at relationships, 
          at building your dreams,
                at anything.... 
It couldn't be further from the truth!
Mute the voice of insecurity 
In your head, lest it forms 
A growing crack that becomes 
An irreparable fissure 
On your psyche.
Get out of your head...
