Oh hello demons,
You’ve come out to play,
Shouting abuse in my head,
Trying to make me crumble and go back to bed
With such old beliefs as:
“You’re ugly, not good enough,
You’ll never be anything”,
But, do you know what?
Not today.
Today I say no.
Today I fight back.
Today I remind myself that I AM good enough.
That my thoughts are just thoughts,
That they are not true
unless I allow them to be as big as YOU
want them to be.
But I won’t.
Not today.
Today I’ll refocus
I’ll remind myself that my path is unique,
That I am well on my way,
And that, if I believe,
I can be anything I want to be.
Because I am the creator
Of my very own me.
And I will look in the mirror,
Give myself a high five,
And get on with living my best authentic life.
