Loud and drowning out all others
Thoughts to smother encouragement
The eternal question mark of ability
Lying dormant until confidence should stir
To stifle any consideration of possibility
Initiate a futile search for external validity
For that which is found too shall be shredded
I hear the voice of self-doubt echoing
Most vicious, vile and outspoken critic
Whispering harmful disgusting drivel
I leave you now to listen to yourself
Find the quiet calm at the centre of my being
See the glowing light and greatness that is me
Know that I am capable of all that I dream
Arise with a rush of silence in my ears
No longer vested in any of your opinions
To conquer all that I choose to do and be
