Short poem on Negative Self-Talk

Lies,
deceit,
self-harm,
sabotage,
destruction,
They lay quietly in my head
And explode in an instant
Leaving me wondering which way is up.
A tiny seed of doubt
Waits to bloom
The right time
and
BOOM destruction!
Talking in my head is dangerous,
Self-doubt is dangerous,
Negative self-talk is dangerous,
Consistent imposter syndrome.
Get out
Get out
That’s what I shout over and over
Get out of my head with the BS!
Where is the
Self-compassion,
Self-Love,
Positive praise,
Uplifting thoughts,
To fill my head
To make me better.
Could you celebrate with me?
But first, my thoughts must align.
They will over time
Just wish they were inline
Before they started to run 100 miles an hour
In my head.
Now I am lying in bed
Fighting the urge to get out of my head!!
