The Faithful Companion
When a voice tells you In cold burning syllables “You’re not good enough,” To drown it in song And reduce it to silence Takes a lion’s heart. Louder, louder, scream Against your old companion Of long, lonely nights, And when you speak up And the laughter never comes And the world smiles back, Look in the mirror And see the reflected truth: The room is empty. That cold burning voice, That old faithful companion, Has always been you.
