Please stop it

Please stop it, the constant noise in my head. The echoes of self-doubt, the whispers of fear, the relentless drumbeat of anxiety.

It's exhausting, draining the life from my soul. Please stop it, the comparisons that suffocate me. The continual measuring against others, the debilitating fear of not being enough. The pressure to fit in is drowning me in the sea of faces.

Stop the deep-cutting, hurtful words, please. The thoughtless remarks, the snap decisions, the intense looks. They persist, festering like open sores, refusing to heal.

We are running out of time, so please put an end to the destructive cycle of negativity, the vicious spiral of pessimism, the weight of hopelessness.

The masks we wear, the pretences, the facades, the carefully crafted illusions, and let us be vulnerable, raw, and vulnerable.

We must stop dismantling our planet, the ravaging of nature, the pollution of our air, and the spoiling of our future.

Please stop it. Just stop. Breathe. Listen. Feel. Be.
