"SABOTAGE"
by Becky Hemsley
Let me introduce you
To a woman that I know
She hears my every thought
And follows everywhere I go
When I’m fast asleep
And keeps me up for hours
Whilst she taunts and laughs at me
She takes joy in convincing me
That I am hard to love
That if I’m less than perfect
Then I’ll never be enough
She shakes the ground I stand on
And talks down what I achieve
She highlights all my flaws to me
And tells me I’m naïve
She battles with my confidence
And wrestles with my pride
She’s like a double agent
But she’s never on my side
And she knows just how to sabotage
By sowing seeds of doubt
And arguing with logic
In a voice that likes to shout
And you’d think I wouldn’t listen
That I’d turn and walk away
But it’s so hard to ignore her
When she knows just what to say
In ways that make me question
Things I’ve thought and done and said
You see, she is an imposter
And she lives inside my head
