Worriers are warriors

I am a worrier
and by that I mean
there are these little demons in my head
that try to occupy more space than they're worth.
They tickle away at my brain,
and at night they really come alive,
for they thrive off the darkness
when the light has gone from my big ideas.

The first one
is so big I'm not too sure how he fits,
he tells me that I am never going to get anywhere in life
that my job as a waitress
will be long term.

The next
likes to tell me that I don't have enough talent
to do what I love.
Forget drawing or writing,
there is always someone better.

After that,
there's this little one
that tells me I don't have the money
to move out, or travel
and I will be stuck in this place forever.

The next one has been with me so long
that I almost consider her a friend,
she tells me that I'm not pretty enough
or skinny enough
for anyone but her to like me.

I hate them,
and they terrify me,
more than any horror movie or spider
but I am fighting these little monsters every single day.
therefore,
I am a warrior.
