Me V.S. Myself Poem by Skylark Woodrow

They scream and yell,
They won't be quiet.
They fill my head,
I can't deny it;
They're tearing me apart from within.

I'd like to say it's someone else,
But this time it's me verses myself.
Why must I always be set on self-destruct?

The battle's in my mind,
And the war seems all but lost.
I'm fighting against ME,
Trying to save ME from MYSELF.
I won't leave ME alone,
I won't let MYSELF rest.
I keep bringing up the past;
Pointing out every mistake, every flaw.
I make mole hills into mountains,
Memories into nightmares to be relived day after day.
I can't live without ME criticizing MYSELF and MY actions,
And I just need to STOP IT!
