Inner Voice Poem by Becky Casey

The girl that always told me
I'd never be a success,
Is the same girl that said
I'd spend my whole life under stress.

Said I'd never get into college
Swore I'd never have a friend,
Said life would leave me early
And promised love was all pretend.

Said my life would just be miserable
That every day would end in tears,
And the world was all against me
Making my whole life full of fears.

The girl said I was being watched
Yet I was on my own,
The stupid girl inside my head
Who won't leave me alone.
