Coward. (but I like her)

Coward.
Yeah
I sure know how to give myself a good peptalk

The thing is…
After my inner critic has gone to sleep
And my demons have finished dancing around in my head
(and oh boy do they party)

She shows up

Quietly at first
But when she gets warmed up
She is – actually – hilarious

I don't know why it took me so long
to realise that I like her

some days
I'm unable to hear her through the noise

behind those voices yelling coward!
she sits, quietly whispering:

Ignore that d*ck
focus on the softer folds
of your thoughts, instead.
