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.
