The voices are my friends

I think it's kind of sad

that I can hear my own heartbeat

does anyone notice me 

no one notices me


I sit on the edge of my bed

for hours on end

thinking to myself

just go a little deeper


The voices have almost won

I'm holding onto you

my last hope

my last chance


When we don't talk

the voices get louder

they scream about you

they don't like you


But I do like you

I love you

I don't know why 

they want me to end you


They almost convinced me

I held the knife behind my sweater

I was so close but

you woke up and smiled


How can my friends not like you

how could they want me to take away 

such a beautiful smile

the smile that silences the voices
