So...Never Listen

Never Listen

She’ll tell you that no one likes you
Or that everyone thinks your strange.
She may even try to convince you
That you need to change
In order to fit in
In order to look good.
She reminds you of all of the things
You’re not doing that you should.
She makes you feel guilty.
She makes you feel lazy.
She makes you feel selfish.
She makes you feel crazy.
When she starts to whisper
And all of her lies begin
When you hear her small voice in your head
Never listen.
