The voice in my head
Points out every flaw
Every line colored out of the norm
Every pound gained
And lost
Veiled behind a sheer compliment
Or screamed at the mirror
That I have always been
I replaced your voice
With my own
It loves me in a way you never did
Never could
Years of your voice still echo
Trapped behind piles of memories
They get quieter over time
One day I will be the only voice
Because she is proud of me
In a way you never will be
Never can be
Evermore
