Voices
Heart racing
Mind chasing
Hot tears
Full of fears
“You don't deserve this,
Your worthless
Your weak
You have no one
No one cares
There better off without you
Causing them stress”
I can't stop the voices
They echo in my ears
All at once
I can't chase away the fears
“They'll leave you
Like they always do
You'll put them under stress
So just leave too”
My heart aches
My head bangs
I cant breath
Why is this all on me
Why can't I have something of my own
Something that will keep me sane
But all I am is alone
In my mind I roam
“You don't deserve to pass
You don't deserve good
You deserve everything bad
And more to come soon
You can end it now
Set everyone free
From the agony you cause
Set them free”
I scream internally
I can't stop them
I can't tell anyone
They'll think i'm a mess
Too much to deal with
Don't even try
I'm a slob
Lazy
Stupid
Ugly
Stressful
I shouldn't even cry
I shouldn't even try
The voices get loud
Nothing stops them
I feel so alone
To scared to stop them
Because if their right
What does that leave me with?
Nothing and no one
“So just get it over with”
They say in chorus
The voices can never be satisfied,
I hate how I feel inside
I can’t stop them
No one can
“Set us free
Set us free
This body is nothing to us
We hate you
We hate it here
It's all your fault”
They chant
Growing louder than
Anything that can
Why me
Why us
Why everything
I just wish to be free
From this mortality
When i'm alone it’s worse
That's when they echo and shout
All the things that are true
That I feel are true
I stare blankly at my homework
Thinking
Thinking
Thinking
Why can’t I breathe
Why can’t I think clearly
They echo and echo away into the night
I fall victim to the loneliness alright
I’ve tried everything to stop them
To end this pain
But they are never satisfied
They want me to bleed
They want me to grieve
They want me to hurt
They need me to die
They hate me because I brought them here
And I can’t get them out
It hurts my soul
Forever bound
By the endless voices around
I feel I may die
But that’s alright
Another end to a story
That no one will ever tell
Another end to a life
Better than living in this hell
Another end
No more pain
This can all be taken away
Just one step
Just one more push
One more pull
Im standing on an edge
Tiperoping my way
Through this endless void
Waiting
To be saved
