The Voices


They're so loud!

Yelling , Screaming, Crying!

The voices, THE VOICES!!!

Evil, rude, and malevolent.

The ones only I hear, the ones that never leave!

My demons, my burden.

But I need them...

These voices, my voices.

Sweet, comforting, and protective.

Singing, Cooing, Giggling.

Giving advice, and rescuing me from insanity.

My angels, my saviors.

Don't silence them, Doctor.

Don't sentence me to maddening silence.

I live for the voices.
