When Will She Leave?

She tells me I’m not worth it,

She tells me I can’t do it,

She tells me there’s no point,

She sits there, makes herself at home, and tells me I won't be missed,

She tells me I’m a burden.

Sometimes I fight her,

Sometimes I push her away,

But somehow, she always comes back,

And she comes back with hateful words.

She tells me I'm a failure,

She tells me that it’s my fault,

She makes everything harder than it needs to be.

She is silent and invisible and she overwhelms me,

But this is a battle that I intend to win.
