Poem is about how you can become your own worst enemy to a work in progress.
INNER CRITIC

My head bursts with
Excitement, vigor
And a zest for life

Take my dreams
My self worth
In your hand
Crumple them like paper

Toss away the self within me
Inspiration wilts
Use me for your own image

Make your soul feel valuable
Your polluted heart flows
Into vats of toxicity
Life is too guilty for you

Thrash in its fire
Until you kill me
I become you
