The Arguing Mind

Two voices screaming in my head.

One full of indignant righteousness,

the other begging for its morbid desires.

 

The rythmic yelling beats against my chest;

every word constricts my breath,

choking any reason in my mind.

 

Neither voice seems to ring true,

leading me further into a pit of self doubt.

Which one is the liar?

 

The fear in my heart wells

at the thought of both being truthful.

I fall deeper and deeper into myself.

 

I try to silence them both, shutting myself down.

but in the end, no matter where I turn,

they're everywhere I try to run.
