The Voices

I can't get the voices out of my head, they hide behind a facade of analeptic lies. Their incoherent whispers make me wish I was dead, and their noise seems only to rise. There is no silence or truth, never has there been since youth. They promise a happy salvation, from my arduous, caustic addiction, if I were to follow their word. They speak only lies, the same in a different guise. The sound is unbearable. Their morbid speak of “kill”, but I don't think I'm able to take my ghastly fill. Their lies seem so sweet. Perhaps its not bad. Not bad to stop a heartbeat. I’m not really all that mad, like you tend to repeat. The only one I can trust, the one that seems unjust. The one that speaks utter nonsense, might be my only defense, against this rising murdering lust. It’ll take some time to adjust.                                 Maybe though, it’ll preserve my sanity,                                       in this world of inhumanity.

I'm perfectly okay :P no need to get worried (if you weren't going to than ignore my ignorant comment).

'One of them has kept my pushing... With out this voice, I wouldn't be here today.'
