Voices
These voices in my head
They never go away
Telling me I’ll end up dead
If I ever disobey
I’ve tried to block them out
Boarding up the doors
They always find another route
Starting constant wars
They won’t stop until I’m found
A tightness in my chest
They growl at me like a hound
I never get to rest
They sink their teeth inside my brain
Replacing all my thoughts
Acting like a fighter plane
Taking all their shots
They tell me to surrender
I put my arms in the air
Giving in to their pressure
They left me feeling bare
They start to overwhelm
Accepting their new role
I’m taken to another realm
I relinquish my control
These voices in my head
I know they’re here to stay
I’ve accepted them instead
Of pushing them away
