You let me struggle
You allow me to be real
You listen when I express
You don’t judge me
You press a little button ‘like’
To let me know
That just maybe what I wrote
Makes sense to you
And when you do
I just say to my inner critic
‘See!’
Skepticallly and with his usual aplomb
He raises one eyebrow with a sneer
And asks ‘Really?’
And then I just smile at him
And give him a big hug
Relax Mr A
Maybe just for today
You can let go
Cause I am safe
And the world isn’t as judgemental
As you would like me to believe
