Critic

How does one save themselves

When their inner critic is out to kill them?

I’m beginning to see myself different.

Pointing out my flaws.

Question myself.

I want to be with you,

But I critic myself too much.

I’m too skinny, but I feel fat.

I’m outgoing, but can’t be around others when I’m depressed.

I just want to be myself.

I’m wishing this critic would leave me alone.

Get off my back.

The mirror shows me what I hate the most.

The walls seem like mirrors, surrounding me.

I’m closed in.

I can’t escape.

I don’t know what to do.

How to get out of here.

Oh dear…

What do I do now?

[Initium]

I feel this way all the time. I like how, though when I do feel like this, I'm all jumpy inside, but you wrote this with such clarity and fluidity, though it's merely free verse. This is good. A+
