I'm going to stop running from you
I'll no longer retreat.
I'll listen more intently
To your commands, when you speak.
If this it what it takes for this pain
To be released.
I'll listen to what you're saying
So I could achieve some inner peace.
My life is a mess
I can't take this pain no longer.
I lost my beautiful children
& my perfect wife, because I wronged her.
I lost my self respect
I no longer care.
I don't laugh or smile anymore
I live in despair.
My days are filled with loneliness
At night I don't sleep.
The only thing I have is these voices
So I listen to them speak.
When everyone else has left me
The voices still remain.
The voices understand me
They know my inner pain.
They harp on my mistakes
They **** my self esteem.
They remind me of my shortcomings
They invade my thoughts & dreams.
They mentally break me down
They tell me I'm no good.
They tell me suicide is the answer
They made me believe that I should.
These voice are loud
They're boisterous & strong.
I given into them now
I just hope they aren't wrong.
I pray voices that what
You want me to do
Really isn't a sin.
Because I'm going to do what you want
Voices................you win!
