Secluded inside her head

Alone, with people around her

Searching inside instead 

For what, she’s not quite sure

The endless loop of thoughts

Rarely good, generally bad

It seems they’re all she’s got

She finds her circumstances sad

Always flashing in her mind

Continuously pulling her down 

Her internal voice should be kind

Not one that knocks her to the ground 

She desperately needs this to end

But she’s unsure of what to do

Awareness is her friend

It’s the first step in getting through

These thoughts she wants to end

To start all fresh and new

So much energy she expends

Worrying about me and you

She puts herself down

She calls herself names

No wonder she always frowns

It’s time to stop these games

To stop caring what others think

Soon these negative thoughts will be gone

She’s just hanging on the brink

Ready to halt the voice that is always on

To kick that voice out of her head

To live a joy and love filled life

With laughter and smiles instead

No longer filled with strife!
