The voices in my head
want to force me to stay in bed.
They scream, they shout,
they whisper out loud;
“Who will I disappoint next?”
The voices in my head
fill me with dread.
They pick me up,
then put me down,
they make me want to drown.
The voices in my head
tell me to isolate myself.
That I ruin everything I get.
They eat away my hopes and dreams
and shatter all my self esteem.
The voices in my head
tell me to feel ashamed of myself.
New voices join in everyday,
pointing out how I need to fade away.
I live with these voices in my head.
I believe these voices in my head.
I need these voices in my head
to remind me of who I truly am.
