I hear a lot about proper self-talk these days,
And how we can change all our circumstances just by changing the way we talk to ourselves.
So, I say I don't need self-talk.
I don't need anything.
I don't even need air.
I declare myself anaerobic.
I could be buried alive.
The thought of it doesn't scare me a bit
Because I could lay there for 2000 years and still be alive
And still be not breathing air.

See there, I feel better now
After my rant,
And all my self-talk and all my declarations,

Although a part of me wonders if
There may be a fine line between
Healthy self-talk and denial.
