Our minds are now habitats to animal thoughts
we self-talk like venomous snakes
betraying ourselves with doubt
we jump from the branches of one curse to another
like desperate monkeys seeking attention
from no-one else but ourselves
each flaw becomes a gorilla not fit for survival
we jump like bears into battle on each imperfection
turning evolution into extinction
we are wounded by our own chains of self-judgement
the deer of our self-esteem are devoured
by the tigers of our lust for perfection
or else consumed by the lions of negativity
so, the cluttered trees of chaotic feelings
in a small invisible place, grow larger,
creating jungles and placing predators
where once only lush woodlands grew
