The Voices


I hear the voices they say I'm a bad person they say I'm kind they say I'm fat they say I'm ambitious they say I'm stupid they say so many things Which voice do I listen to? Who knows me best?
The bad voices are right They repeat it so often I can't not listen I'm fat I'm stupid I'm a bad person All the rest must be lies My own lies I made the good voices I made them say good things I tricked them the bad voices tell me so they threaten to reveal the truth they don't like the good voices because I smile and laugh
The bad voices are unhappy so they want to bring me down I must stand strong but what if they are right? what if I am tricking myself? Lying to myself? Where is the truth? Tell me Tell me Am I bad? Am I good? Who am I? Answer me, Voice of Reason
