As I close my eyes in attempt to sleep
I find that I cannot.
There is something preventing me
From the rest I crave.
I wait in fearful agony
My breath locked in my throat.
And finally, I hear them
One at a time, from the lurking shadows they emerge.
Hungry to hurt, they begin to slowly
Very slowly
Tear away at my very heart.
"Her dreams and hopes are ridiculous."
"She doesn't work hard enough."
"She is weak, unequipped, and unimportant."
"Who could ever love someone like her..."
Someone like her...
Someone like her...
I open my eyes
I feel flooded by streams of tears.
The whispers grow louder, stronger
Make them stop, I beg
I don't want to believe them anymore.
Suddenly, my body feels light
I'm beginning to float.
My mind becomes clear
As an illuminating light shines brightly from above
I can feel the whispers scatter and hide
I can hear chains breaking
The light burns all the brighter.
I gaze into the majesty of its beauty
Soft and warm and comforting, it bathes me in glory.
Up from above
I hear a voice
So different from the ones I've heard.
"Daughter of mine, you are dearly loved.
Your worth exceeds the finest rubies, silver, or gold.
You are fully equipped with all you may need.
You are beautiful and courageous.
Never fall into the trap of such evil lies
For they are surely not my thoughts towards you.
Come rest, my child. Turn your ear to my words
And I will give you peace."
So I collapsed into his arms
Free at last from the thousand whispers
Which robbed me of peace.
I will forever put my trust in God
And believe his words above all else.

Very slowly
Tear away at my very heart.
A thousand whispers, that's what they are
Snickering to themselves.
For they are now more than aware
I cannot help but listen.
The dread pierces like a knife, and I cringe in pain
Snickering to themselves.
For they are now more than aware
I cannot help but listen.
The dread pierces like a knife, and I cringe in pain
From the lies these whispers spew
The untruths about me I've learned to believe.
"She's worthless," they'll say
"No one loves her," comes next.
"Does she think she's fooling anyone with that fake smile?"
"Everything she does fails."
"Because she's a failure."
"She only brings disappointment to others."
