A new study suggests affirmation chants

(i.e., I can be loved, I can be loved)

are generally ineffective. In fact,

they may tend to have a reverse effect.

Let’s say you’re about to be evicted

from your already earwig-infested room.

You have red spots on the back of your legs,

and your nickname is Lancelot Loser.

Let’s say your last prized possession

is a souvenir glass from Hoboken

and your ex has just published a poem

titled ‘I Know the Definition of Small.’

Chanting I can be loved, I can be loved,

only stresses how sadly untrue that may be.

It’s likely better to just buy a toupee.

I can wear a rug, I can wear a rug.
