says the voice within

keep on trying
go on and on
never give up
says the voice within

get back up
dust yourself off
try again and again
says the voice within

have willpower
learn discipline
build stamina
says the voice within

no obsessing
stop bitching
knock it off, now
says the voice within

live life as alive
why live as if dead
fully breathe life in
says the voice within

“When I’m feeling really down the voice within me will say, just breathe.”

PICK YOURSELF UP
From the Film: Swing Time 1936
(Lyrics by: Dorothy Fields / Music by: Jerome Kern)
Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers
Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start All over again.

Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired,
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son!

Will you remember the famous men,
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

They call it self talk.
I call it back talk, to those self defeating voices.
I've got quite the crowd in my head.

Enjoyed this read
