Stop It

Stop the bleeding
Stop self-defeating
Stop demeaning
The real meaning
Stop the outage
Get out the mind cage
Stop the stressin' 
That leave you guessin'
Stop the relapse
You'll break your kneecaps
Stop the anger
That leave you in danger
Stop the rumbling
Stop all the grumbling
Stop the lies
And start to realize
Stop the inner you
That evil inner you
Stop blamin' everyone else
For the pain you inflict on everyone else
Stop the bottles
That leave your life in a pothole
Stop the negativity
Like you live in captivity
Stop all the self-hate
Before it's too late
This is a PSA from your mind
We can't leave you behind
This is a love letter from your soul
We need you to be whole
This is everything you need to hear
We need this to be very clear
Stop it
We need you to stop it

I suspect there is a huge number of people who can relate to that inner voice of negativity and despair. It takes quite a bit of discipline and self control to overcome. Powerful poem.
