The Voice
How do I stop it?

This war going on in my head
The voice that constantly reminds me
The voice that makes me question my every thought and feeling
The voice that challenges any rationalization I make
Guilt and fear consume me at all times
Making me afraid to eat
Afraid to trust
Afraid to live
If ever I find myself in a moment of pleasure,
The voice crowds my head
Telling me that I am undeserving
It catapults me back into my world of self-imposed torment
That is why it's so hard to argue
I created this hellish place for myself
This is normal
This is how it's supposed to be
