Myself



Another scream finds my ears

Thundering booms as doors are slammed

“Welcome to the mad house”

I say silently

As not to wake the voices inside



I lay still, in hope, the voices

Won’t find me

A tear of regret

Relentlessly falls from my cheek

As I long for the good ole days



The sound of my single tear

Hitting the pillow

Wake the voices

My soul tries to escape

This maze in my mind



To many voices to evade

I lose myself to the voices

Again



I can see

But I have no say

My life is not my own

I’m trapped

Behind a wall of hurt and pain

Still, the voices are in control



I beg for relief

But they laugh

And mock me

Unable to stop them

I surrender completely

They win again

As I lose



Never do I wish

I was someone else

All I wish for is to be myself
