Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Location
On the outside, I may look normal,
Just like all the rest.
But inside, I am hurting,
My heart tearing in two,
From the voices in my mind,
That tell me what to do.
I can’t escape their orders,
I must do what they say.
Because, if I disobey them,
They’ll take my loved ones away.
So, I do everything they tell me,
Even if it’s hard,
So they stay away from my family,
So I can keep them from harm.
But sometimes it’s too much,
Doing all their chores,
And on the days it hurts a lot,
I just want to give up.
But I know I can’t,
Because, if I refuse,
My loved ones will vanish,
And I will lose.
So, I hide my depression,
And stand to face another day,
Because, I couldn’t survive,
Knowing I’d been the one that
Took my family away.

I like your poem, but I don't understand what you mean by voices.
