Voices In My Head

I hear voices in my head
Occasionally there’s just one
Hissing words in my brain
Insulting me as if it’s great fun

Other times there’s a mob
They growl their demands
And they laugh hysterically
As I crack my skull on concrete lands

I have voices in my head
And I am forced to listen
They whispers seeds of doubt
And they heighten my suspicions

“They are coming to get you”
I question who “they” are
I can sense them grinning
As they say “Oh, they’re not far”

I want the voices in my head
To die horrific deaths
They have strip me of my normalcy
Dragging me into bottomless depths

I’ve lost touch with reality
I can’t say what’s here and what’s not
I see demons and ghastly figures
In the mirror I see my face disgustingly gaunt

I hate the voices in my head
They relentlessly attack with words so unkind
I cannot keep fighting
The war within my shattered mind

Should I give myself to them?
And answer all their pleas
Or should I end it all here
And put me out of my miseries

I hear voices in my head
And they will soon be lifeless
I bought a pistol and one silver bullet
The scream
for their lives
is
utterly
priceless
