Dodging Thoughts

Dodging Thoughts

"My insecurities ruin me

I chase everyone away

My thoughts always get the best of me

And yet I think them everyday

I try to control them

And tell them to hush

But that little voice surfaces

And just one thought's enough

To set my mind on spiral mode

Coasting through rocky land

Dodging flaming bullets

As I shoot myself down again

Love tries to stop me

And takes me by the wrist

But Stubborn always pulls away

The battle to resist

I'm constantly counting numbers

Calories, fat, and weight

I'm always avoiding mirrors

Body, me, I hate. I hate!

I'm always a let down

It's nothing new

I just want to be better

But I don't know what to do

Constantly failing

In every aspect and way

I try to be better

But the thoughts choose to stay"
