I am my own critic...
July 14, 2011
I am 15 years old and I have done nothing,
Discovered nothing,
Been nothing,
And there are absolutely no thoughts in my head that anyone would ever want to read about
The critic in my head screams this
It whispers
It tries to rule
The words won’t make sense
I can’t write
My paper stays blank
My pencil stays sharp
I write, then erase
The pencil breaks
The Eraser dies
The critic rules my mind s
My thoughts
He stops me from moving forward
From winning
Succeeding
But in the end
I am my own critic
