a single momentary lapse of memory in a noisy skull, just bones, flesh and a shaky consciousness. slipping awareness and slowly swimming bloodshot eyes. you're the teenager, the sleepy head that angrily paces the room. agitated and stressed out - to the maximum. tightly balled fists, ready to fight the oncoming storm. *'so long and good night. but before i go you should know that if you carry on like this, you'll surely do yourself damage.'* 'what of it?' taunts the little voice within the closed in, confined walls of the skull. **'it's too late. you're too stressed. forget it.'** and then there's the shouting now, not taunting, **'for the love of god, bite your tongue and SHUT UP!'** and again, from within. whispering, but maliciously forceful... **'you're desperate and pathetic. stop crying, you idiot. you're being so ridiculous. no one wants to hear your ridiculous whining. choke those words back down, they don't matter'** the violence that racks through your bones makes you stressed and scared as hell, your eyes bloodshot and makes your chest so painful that even breathing hurts. unable to stand anything, at all. wanting it all to STOP. it's not enough, screams the voice. that's another sleepless night. another night lying awake, tormented and ridiculed by a voice telling you *you'll fail, you're **** give up now before it gets so much worse* scream at the top of your lungs, tear yourself apart, if the voice inside hasn't already stripped you bare of confidence and everything that once made you, you. it's nearly too late. and the voice still spits hatred at you. always. selfish.

im sick to death of the stress. impatient, and most of all fed up. stress. stress. stress. italics is some of my friends, bold is the voices in my head.
