The voices in my head
They are deafening
They say
Silly girl
How dear you
How dear you try to be free
How dear you try to express yourself
You can’t even dance
You have no rhythm
You quit everything you start
You will always be depressed
You don’t matter
Better to stay safe and hidden than to make mistakes
But I remember the truth
And I write myself a love letter
It goes like this
Dear Self
You beautiful girl
Don’t listen to all the noise
Forget doubt
Forget your insecurities
You shine from the inside out
You’re a diamond
Receive with open arm
No more fighting
You are precious
You are special
There is only one of you
So, remember to jump
and allow yourself to fly
Soar up high
