The Voice Whispers

There is a voice in me that whispers...

keep going, and I do.

It tells me I am worth being loved...

and I am.

It tells me I am strong even when I feel weak,

and it is right.

It tells me to fight when I want to give up,

and I fight.

The voice whispers

* I wrote this on May 18th, 2022. It has taken a lot of self-growth to be able to listen to this voice that whispers. Most of my life I only heard the voice of self-hate. It was a constant reminder of how bad I was at everything, how unwanted, how unloved I was. It does not matter now why I felt self-hate. The important thing is that we focus on the fact that it was destroying me. I could not move forward and enjoy my life, if I hated myself. I realized I have choices. No one else could fix the damage that was my job. I know that if I can do this, you can do this. Learning to manage all of the things that are mental illness(es) are possible, and you are so worth it.
