The Voice - - - - Inspired by FromtheAsh
Today I thought about trying
The evil voice in my head said
“What’s the fucking point?”
I thought about a healthy lifestyle
The evil voice in my head said
“Have a large fucking slice of pie.”
Today I thought about going to the gym
The evil voice in my head said
“Who the fuck is Jim, fuck him!”
It’s time to look after my diabetes
The evil voice in my head said
“Fuck! You don’t have legs already.”
I was going to try again and love her
The evil voice in my head said
“Fuck her! She doesn’t love you.”
I was gonna contact my long lost daughter
The evil voice in my head said
“Fuck her! She hates you too.”
I considered not drinking anymore
The evil voice in my head said
“You need more fuckin drink, not less.”
Today I considered suicide
The evil voice in my head said
“Best fuckin idea you’ve had all day.”
I said “fuck off! Ya dick!.”
The evil voice in my head said nothing
“I thought I just told you to fuck off?”
I goaded

I am gonna try something I haven't fully tried before - telling the negative voices both my own and that of others to "Fuck Right Off." - life is hard enough without these fuckers - Grrrrrrrrr big warm hugs :-)

If you need any help telling that voice to fuck off, let me know! I'm right beside you with my fists in the air, ready for the fight! You, my friend, are so worth the fight! So many hugs heading your way! :)

The ending made me chuckle and smile. I'm glad you're not dead David!
A very interesting poem. We all have a dark side, some darker than others. I hope that evil voice loses those battles but I'm guilty as well. Unhealthy living has irreparably damaged my body as well. The stroke I had 5 years ago was the byproduct of years of giving in to that voice of endless temptation. The devil may not exist in Hell, but she sure as Hell exists in my mind!
Take care, we need you around here... don't be one of the disappeared!

Those dark voices have a way of slipping in when your already feeling down ... sneaky little bastards ... throwing on the light switch makes them disappear without a trace, not always easy, but try we must !!

David, there are many times when those dark voices visit me as well...little fuckers...very hard to get the to just shut the hell up...I suppose it's either one or the other that gets them to for a bit of time, either the heart or the soul...I do so wonder which one it is at times....

Bravo, David.
You have 17 seconds from the time a thought enters your mind to redirect it; to reach for a higher vibration from the negative.
Saying " Fuck You" would do it.
17 seconds. . .

All those vicious little voices...just waiting the perfect opportunity to bring torment, and chaos into our lives--always, it seems, when we are facing some of our most challenging, and complicated moments!
Indeed--it can be almost impossible to ignore them, as they are soo incredibly adept at gaining strength from all our negative emotions! But, my dear friend, i admire your "take-charge" attitude! And right now, i am picturing you pumping your fists in the air....and imagining the sound of your fierce Scottish brogue, telling your menacing little whisperers, to FUCK (right) OFF !!! (lol) :D
This leaves me with feelings of hope, and encouragement! ( Hundreds, and hundreds of huge HUGS heading your way!)

I have always thought the Scottish accent makes swear words come to life - the accent can come across as aggressive even when it's not (lol) - I am kinda beginning the fight back - so onwards and upwards :-) Thank you as always for your support, you really are a special friend :-) Huge HUGS!
