Self-Talk: A Journey of Transformation

Self-Talk:
A Journey of Transformation

Over the drab
and rocky wasteland of unspoken fears.

Above the distant voices
whispering in my mental ears.

Telling me:
"You can't;
You're stupid and incapable;
unwanted;
unloved;
undesired.

Voices causing me
to cringe in terror
at the though of either success or failure.

Above all this noise,
I hear the Nightingale calling,
telling me
that the whispers I hear
are not my true reality.

Telling me,
that the power to overcome
is from Him
who is the mirror
of God's Glory.

Self Improvement

The effort made by the individual,
To unlock her own human potential.

Self-Talk:
Two Voices

First Voice

I see the world enshrouded in a long black veil,
I hear the mournful echoes of the Banshee's wail,
The life that all me cherish I hold quite cheap,
And find its maintenance not worth the keep.

Second Voice

You see the world through a veil of tears,
I find its joys out weigh its fears,
The life you hold in such contempt,
Is my most valuable asset.
