Voices

I screamed, cried and begged for help,
but none of this made it stop.
It got worse day by day,
I kept repeating the words they say.
Running, fighting, letting it all out.
It still haunted me every night.
Voices, voices, voices,
all I can hear is voices.
The voice of a screaming lady, asking me for help.
The voice of a young man, telling me to kill myself.
Voices, voices, voices.
The voice of my mum, begging me to wake up.
The voice of my only lover, saying that I'm not the one.
Voices, voices, voices.
The voice of a stranger confronting me, with all the truths that I can't admit.
The voice of my ex-best-friend, telling me that I deserve nothing
Voices, voices, voices.
Many voices in my head, making me not want to wake up.
Drowning in their sea of words and suffocating my heart.
Voices, voices, voices.
Getting louder and living inside my thoughts.
Voices, voices, voices,
Turning my dreams into nightmares.
Voices, voices, voices,
Taking control of my memory.
Voices, voices, voices,
They are my reality.
Voices, voices, voices.

Dear voices,
I'm still too young to handle the pain you bring. Please go away. Let me rest in my sleep and live my days.
