Voices *

 I can hear them,
Talking to me,
Harassing me,
Trying to get me to give in.
Loving me,
Hating me,
Wanting me to be with them.
I can't make them stop,
And I can't block them out,
All I can do is listen.
I want to scream,
I want to shout,
But no matter what I do,
They just won't get out.
Why can't they be silent,
Or just leave me alone.
Why can't I have peace,
Or a space to call my own.
They follow me everywhere,
They are with me,
This I know.
I don't know how to get rid of them,
So no matter what I do,
They will be with me,
Gnawing at my sanity,
As they try to leave me,
In a bloody heap.
They are only voices in my head,
And they will stop,
Only when I'm dead.
