Voices

 

When it’s quiet, without a sound

From the darkness does arouse

The silent whispers of defeat

Succumb the mind, too hard to beat

 

Cloud the soul with doubting phrases,

Filling the most secluded places

To overcome would be ideal

But how when there’s no room to feel

 

No one wants you, you are unloved

No Father in heaven, up a above

Can help you in your time of need

The evil voice plants its seed

 

Why keep trying to no avail?

You cannot make it, you’ll always fail

It makes no sense to reach for light

Nothing you ever do is right

 

They scream and pry, torment with deceit

To overcome them is the greatest feat

Voices, voices, in my head

Telling me I’m better off dead

 

Voices, voices in my head

Be gone so I can look ahead

But from my mind they never leave,

Continuing on, they never cease

 

Voices, Voices in my head

It seems you’ve become my only friend

Reaffirming what I already know

That it’s best for me if I just let go….
