Destructive Tones

My destructive inner critic.

Hear

Your words

So full of praise

That they feel

So foreign

To me.

 

Unlike

The usual words

Of damnation

And causation

From others.

 

Which

Fills my head

With worthlessness

And sadness.

 

As

They become

My official inner voice

Of every day.

 

Where

Self-doubting

And self-loathing has

Become second nature

To me.
