voices in my head

These voices in my head
Speaking all at once,
Screaming all at once,
Telling me what to do
What to say
How to play
My own and only game.

These voices in my head
Are whispering your name
And his name
And all the names of those who I’d loved.

And as I lay down on the edge of my bed
My mind surrenders to these voices in my head.
And I cry
And I breathe
And I fight
But they still, and still, and still.

These voices in my head
I can’t abate
It will be a suicide
‘Cause silence them is silence myself
So I must let them scream
Until one day there is nothing else to say.
