Two voices screaming in my head. One full of indignant righteousness, the other begging for its morbid desires. The rythmic yelling beats against my chest; every word constricts my breath, choking any reason in my mind. Neither voice seems to ring true, leading me further into a pit of self doubt. Which one is the liar? The fear in my heart wells at the thought of both being truthful. I fall deeper and deeper into myself. I try to silence them both, shutting myself down. but in the end, no matter where I turn, they're everywhere I try to run.

The Arguing Mind
Two voices screaming in my head. One full of indignant righteousness, the other begging for its morbid desires. The rythmic yelling beats against my chest; every word constricts my breath, choking any reason in my mind. Neither voice seems to ring true, leading me further into a pit of self doubt. Which one is the liar? The fear in my heart wells at the thought of both being truthful. I fall deeper and deeper into myself. I try to silence them both, shutting myself down. but in the end, no matter where I turn, they're everywhere I try to run.
