Poem – One Line

They started as a flippant remark

That when repeated enough left me in the dark

They flash round my head leaving me unsure

Some days so strong I'm trapped indoors

Small things that I should know aren't true

Cause reaction but I can't undo

And all because at an important time

I took too much notice of just one line

That's stuck and made it way within

My head but now I must begin

To turn the one liners round

To positives that don't knock me down

But instead they start to build me up

So God can once again fill my cup

To overflowing as was before

When I never thought twice of going outdoors

To find the strength I must embrace

New one liners to take their place

So I will try to fill my head

With positive one liners instead

You can you do you will you'll see

You're the best mum you can possibly be

You're loved you're funny the generous too

You're needed you're welcome by more than a few

God made you in a perfect way

Are all one liners I need to say

And in time they will replace the Old

And anxiety will no longer have a hold
