Poem: The Voice and Changing Yourself

... The Voice...

The word's typed in bold letters or capital letters is another voice talking and imagine the voice calm and soft like a whisper. Thank you

We all have opinions

We all have something to say

And words, they really do matter

But why are there so many voices

I hear them to much

The voices are mixed together

I can't think

Give me a moment

There are so may voices

Humans are not trustworthy

I hate what they say

Wait?

Why am I talking like I'm not one?

I'm also not trustworthy

YES

Now I remember, I'm way worse

STOP ACTING NICE

Wait, what's that voice

YOU'RE NOT IMPORTANT

Stop!Stop!, It's not true

YOU CAN NEVER BE IMPORTANT

YOU ARE USELESS

YOU HAVE NO WORTH

Stop!Stop!

IS IT?,YOU KNOW ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE

I'm sorry

The voice is soft and low, not loud

It's whispering to me words

Why do I listen to it?

I know why

I guess cause it's true

Let me sleep in my bed if thorns

Let me sink deeper into my nightmare

I've always been doing it

So why not continue

Let Me Drown

... CHANGING YOURSELF...

Changing yourself to fit in with others

You're losing yourself in the process

Chopping yourself down into tiny pieces

Then burning it till it turns to ashes

Even tho you don't see it that's what you're doing to yourself

Slowly slicing down who you are just to fit in

Smiling all the time to pretend

You're not going to be happy

That's not the real you

It doesn't matter what you call yourself, you're perfect as you are

I know you hear that a lot

Cause trust me it's true

I've kinda been in your shoes

Bowed down to the the opinions of others

Puppeteered by what they say

A lifeless little puppet that cannot move without being pulled buy it's puppeteer

Then say to my self"I don't care about what they say"

Then indirectly writing down their opinions in my heart so I can follow it

Saying I can control myself

But unconsciously letting their opinions puppeteer me

That's not the person you're ment to be

You are perfect as you are

And what you are is beautiful

What you are is Priceless

What you are is precious

What you are is Amazing

Thank you for reading up until this point

I wrote Changing yourself after my I want to fit in phase that was the moment I realized that when I said to myself I don't care about what they say I actually did I. so I later realized that I don't have to change myself. so yeah
