The Voice in My Head

Dear LittleVoice,

I hope you know that you lost

It's been almost three years now and even if you do come back, I'll be ready

I know you now

You will never again make me crawl under desks not raise my hand hide from my friends tell lies hate myself do anything else I don't want to do

I'm not that person. You are

I guess in the end that I'm sorry I ever created you

Without me, you'd never be in there

Telling me what to do

Hating me

Making me hate myself

Now that youre gone, I'm free again

Free

What a beautiful sound

I can talk to people, smile at people, have awkward pauses in conversations and not find that just one more overwhelming flaw

Without you, I don't have to be afraid anymore

I am me
