18/M/Nigeria My abode is my depression
Every time I pick up my pen to write, Maybe just a note about my strife and plights These voices upstairs play this little game with my mind. I don’t know what it is for sure but all came from within. He’s slowly trying to take control I get it! And I’m kind of losing I’m stuck in this hole Of self pity Of dismay Drunk with frustration I bit my pen You want me to listen when there is nothing to learn For being able to write, Is this voices up here I get to earn? I was even thinking of making a deal with these voices Don’t blame me man, I’m running out of choices It says, Hey Chris, take the pistol to pull that trigger At least the pain will go away Or take a seat and watch you slowly wither away Either way, nothing changes Maybe then my family would stand over me to mourn Lying in a coffin like a stillborn Probably smiling because these **** voices won Don’t judge me, You don’t know what and how my life is right now Because all you go about doing is judging people around! And I don’t need that Go away if all you want to do is rant These voices won’t just stop Don’t add to it Their screams and laughter makes me go crazy And it’s okay to laugh at it I just sigh whenever I hear them say Hey Chris it is okay I understand With all due respect, you don’t You don’t hear the screams driving me to madness You don’t feel the emptiness and its sadness It is filling me up to the brim Stop it man, I barely dream! You’re asking me if I had enough sleep last night You aren’t even waking up at nights Just because your nightmares won’t just stop being NIGHTRMARES This empty big dark hole in me This void that cannot be filled I can’t even begin to explain I lost track of what causes pain Because literally everything does Lord, please, send forth your rain Maybe then I will be able to expel my pain Either in tears or in screams Let it rain! You don’t feel the pain draining me little by little Yes! I act like I’m okay How else should I act? Surely you don’t want to see the other side Trust me it is worse than an eyesore And it’s slowly breaking me till I can take no more So, Here I am sitting Broken bones Crippled till I’m less than a void Confusion all up my sleeves Beaten to a pulp Tattered in rags Looking up to Jesus I wanted to pray But it was too late Soon I withered away

The Voices

How do you feel when you pick up that knife about to slit your wrist? Yes, adding another beautiful yet painful line on it. How do you feel? How do you feel when you lay down the rope, that blade and a piece of paper to write down your last words, if you get any though? How do you really feel? You’re standing before an incoming train travelling with a speed of 60km/h! Talk to me man, HOW DO YOU FEEL?! Death? Is that what you feel? Freedom from all these pain you’re feeling? An escape route to run away from all these ****** up ***** You coming in the way of that train, is the way out? Sorry to burst your bubbles man You’re being lied to First of all, you’re in no position to take your own life or anybody’s Look at me man, you don’t have to know me I’m Mr. Nobody Wake up from this illusion of yours Bring those lies to the table and burn ‘em up You didn’t ask for any of this, And if you just give me your undivided We can get you through this You got this huge wall around, Yeah I understand and respect that. But look at you man, you weren’t made to be like this God didn’t create you to live like this You better quit that thinking and start fighting Man, please don’t do it! Remember your family, remember me You got so much to live for, So why the hurry? Jesus is probably knocking at your door, If you let him in, Trust me, he will lead through this Yes, the demons dropped you to your feet, Just a reminder, this is your feast It is your life to live So stand up to your feet and watch ‘em all flee Those voices up there man, are lying, They promised you happiness but they want you hiding And I know you are no weakling, Don’t fall for it, Please keep on fighting Suicide isn’t the way, JESUS is
