That Voice
They may say
She burned too bright
And too quick
But really she was sick.
She had a voice
Harsh in Judgement
Quick to Sting
Never to sing.
You're not good enough
The emotions are numb.
She is drowning in air.
You're so **** DUMB.
She runs
Try to work it out
Therapy through running
and still the voice is there
Exercise
Her mom says it's an anti depressant.
It will help you
Make you feel "better"
She feels like crying out
I HAVE NOT FELT IN YEARS
The voice is still in side her
It's not the killing, its the wanting not to be alive
The voice says "you are selfish"
and then she tries to cry.
"look at the good things you have
job, education, A Loving Family
How can you end it all
It's a permanent solution
to a temporary problem"
Yes the voice inside is a monster
A villain full of hate
She woke up one day
and knew it was the date
I don't know how she did it
I don't care to know, too.
That voice she had inside her,
It lives in me too.
