her.

she tells me im not enough.
not pretty enough.
not thin enough.
not deserving enough.

she hides behind me.
over me.
lurking in my shadow.
she waits.

i dismiss her.
pretend not to know her.
hope that i wont see her.

she's that voice that says i failed.
she says do more.
be better.
try harder.
i failed.

she waits.
she taps me on the shoulder.
she's always there.
she waits.
