Now She's Here

I’ve heard people say, They hear voices, Well, I hear a voice. One voice. Why would you do that? Why didn’t you say this? She said. And it all connects, All builds up, Every thread. Until there’s just one big Knot in my head. So to you *******, Next time you want to Put me down, Tell me I’m not good enough, Just remember, That somebody’s already Got there first. That voice in my head Wasn’t there at the start. But after years of your Snide comments, Years of every dig You make, She’s here, to stay. Now, every time you say My friends are losers, Every time you say That I’m one too, Every time you throw a fit, She’s already beaten you to it. 31/07/17

I like the poem, but it's an unfortunate story. That's how life is sometimes though, isn't it? Be strong. Overcome.
