Ignore the voice

I am not doubting whether I am good enough

It’s just that my inner self-critic is loud today

I have to navigate through waters rough

Through the negativity I have to forge my way

That self-critic is being especially annoying

Trying to get my attention in any manner it can

But I shall prevent it’s screeching voice from destroying

My confidence- I have to execute my plan

I turn a deaf ear deliberately to that voice

I pretend its proclamations are white noise

To not heed my inner critic is now my choice

Whether I’m good enough or not, I go ahead with equipoise
