She’s back again,
the little control freak,
whispering from my shoulder.She never really goes away,
despite my efforts to brush her aside
or however much I grow older.I’ve never once turned to look
at her whilst I try hard to
drown out her speech.But I never forget
she’s there, berating me,
and bleeding me like a leech.(Originally Posted 04.08.2019)
Wow… I could almost have written this, though not as well of course!

Is this a compliments battle? Cause those should definitely be a thing 😉

Well, if it was I’m sure you would win! 😂
Seems most of us are more comfortable giving compliments as opposed to receiving them 🖤

Very true! Sad, because amazing writers should accept their amazingness 😀

I agree.
I suppose, for me at least, it’s difficult to get my head around as my writing is such a personal expression that taking a compliment on it means taking a compliment about myself. And I don’t do that. Ever 🖤

we all have our inner critic: I have one I call ‘that little guy inside my head’; I posted it about 16 months ago: it might be ready for another spin 🙂
