Dear Inner Critic

~ Gila Daman 
Dear Inner Critic,

Sorry I’m not always perfect
But I’m not the shmuck you paint me as

I am strong 
I am brave

I have survived a lot of shit

Remember that time my cousin got killed by a fuckin’ volcano?

Or how about that time my dad suddenly collapsed and went unconscious and I never got to speak to him again?

I get that I’m not perfect
I could use some improvements here or there, sometimes many 

But I’m not a total failure, ok?
So quit making me feel like one 

Yours Truly,
Inner Truth
