Voices
A constant rumble has found itself trapped in the back of your thoughts.
To you,
This is normal.
They've always been there,
The voices,
But now they're growing louder.
You can hear their words.
They can show you things.
Things no one can see
Things that aren't really there
And you listen
You follow his orders
He's the one in charge, right?
"Take the pills,
Grab the knife,
Bite the gun."
Do not question him.
The others become angry
They tell you what you really are.
"A waste,
A disappointment,
Useless."
And so you listen.
You're lead to the bathroom
Where the screams crack mirrors
And your ears will bleed.
"Taste gunpowder...
You will free them,
They will be happier."
One shot is heard.
Then a laugh.
He has won
Again.
And a new voice is heard in the crowd.
