The Harmful Mentor


It's okay,

No it's not.

I'm normal,

No I'm not.

I can do it,

No I can't.

Maybe just this one time?

No.

Why?

Never.

Please!

Ever.

And that's when i realized that my mentor was myself...

I mentor myself and say I am not worth it.

When all I need to do is believe I have a purpose.
