    My worst enemy

    By eliseonlife | Acceptance, Conscious Living, Inner Peace, Love, Pain & Suffering, Toolbox of Life | Comments are Closed | 17 February, 2013 | 0

    who speaks to me that way

    with venomous words

    filled with malice

    why can’t i make her stop

     l

    she must loathe my very presence

    for every chance she gets

    she kicks me, trips me

    laughs at my shortcomings

      l

    why do i listen to her spitefulness

    how do i get her to leave me alone

    i wonder how it’s even possible

    that she is i

    i am she

    my inner critic

      l 

    will i ever be good enough

    to make her happy, satisfied

    to shut her up

      l

    or does she need something else

    (not performance-related)

    perhaps she needs my love

    even while she’s scathing in her abuse

      l

    i think i’ll try

    seeing her as a wounded, hurt child

    lashing out at the only person

    she knows will never leave

    no matter what

      l

    yes, i will love her like a child

    dry her tears, stroke her face

    hold her dearly to my breast

    comfort her till the ranting and sobbing cease

      l

    perhaps then she will feel

    seen, loved, cared for

    perhaps then she will let go

    of the anger and injustice

      l

    what if i love my inner critic to death

    what will my world sound like then
