You're Just a ___
To the part of me that always tells me I'm just a ___

Yalis
You ever have that voice in your head, or that part of you that tells you something like —
A
Alex
You know you're just a writer that talks to themselves right?
Y
Yalis
Hey... dude... Was just talking about you.
A
Alex
Yeah? But have you ever realized that?
All you do is write and talk to yourself. Maybe eat and drink. Walk around...
I'm just telling it like it is..
Y
Yalis
Okay...
So what?
A
Alex
So... you're nothing special... and what you do isn't impressive at all.
Y
Yalis
Gee, thanks...
But so what? So I'm not special. So what I do isn't impressive. And?
A
Alex
And... It's not enough.
Y
Yalis
There it is.
A
Alex
Why aren't you doing more?
Y
Yalis
What more would I do anyway?
A
Alex
I don't know dude... Something. Anything!
Y
Yalis
Why do I have to be doing more?
Thank you. I'm glad you're looking out for me. I'm grateful you show up and tell me when you think I'm falling short, when you think I'm "not enough" and when you think I'm about to fail. But so what?
Nothing will ever be enough for you. That's your job. That's what you are. "Not enough". And I'm grateful. Truly. But you need to stop talking right now. I'm tired. Nothing will ever satisfy or satiate you. Nothing will ever be good enough for you. And I know why. And that's okay. But chill dude. You're not helping right now. Thank you. But it's alright.
