I fell in love with Emily when I was 10.
Her take on love and death made me long to explain it as well as she could.
She made me fall in love with words.
Their power

Every night after I received her poetry
I would sink into dreams of what love and life meant.
What it all could mean

30 years later I am ready to not just read the truth.
I am ready to be the truth.
I am ready to be Emily.
To have my words ring true
To inspire the next Emily.
The next Sarah

Deep sorrow and emptiness inside
When the voices judge and criticize
Not the ones outside, the ones in my mind
Those ones are the worst kind

They know all of my flaws
They remember every single fault
They’re the reason I stay in bed
And ignore everyone’s calls

I started talking back to them
Told them to shut up and go away
That only created more chaos
For me to live in every day

I talk to myself more than anybody else
Call me insane, but what goes on inside my brain
Is what I have to deal with more than anybody else
And I don’t want to be in this pain

Deep confusion, yet hope inside
When the voices open up and realize
Not the ones outside, the ones in my mind
Those are the most important kind

They see all of my flaws
They forgive every single fault
They recognize the self-defeating patterns
And they take time to pause

I started talking back to them
Told them they weren’t that bad
Decided to stop judging myself
And forgave myself for being mad

I talk to myself more than anybody else
Call me insane, but what goes on inside my brain
Is what I have to deal with more than anybody else
And I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain

Deep alignment and happiness inside
When the voices listen and empathize
Not the ones outside, the ones in my mind
Those are the most important kind

They love all of my flaws
Compassion is the new default
They’ve become my new best friends
And it feels much better than it was

I started talking back to them
Told them they’re here to stay
We are creating a beautiful life
That I can enjoy every day

I talk to myself more than anybody else
Call me insane, but what goes on inside my brain
Is what I focus on more than anybody else
And nothing would grow without the rain
