can you hear the insainty

by zack-witzig

I hear the voices in my head warring to be free “kill him” “take her away from the pain” “no you must help them” “burn their obsessions ” why do these voices continue to persist I reach into my heart to see if I can find the calm that I seek but when I look deep in there all I can hear is the voices “take your pitiful soul away from this place” “the people who love you matter” “why do I hurt why can’t I stop the hurt” “I love her why won’t she love me back” oh god SHUT UP as I wail in the agony of the struggle inside I slide my nails along my leg and come across the padding these pills do nothing to curb the voices they just make the voice become more like me
