Whispers in the back of my head
With each word
The demons drag
A blade across my flesh
Just a tease... for now
A threat
So I turn up the volume a bit
Try to drown them out
Busy myself
Lose myself
They raise their voices
Louder.
Drums banging in my ears
They match it
LOUDER

THEY SCREAM OVER IT ALL!
SCREAMINGSCREAMINGSCREAMING

I want to fight
But you make me weak
I’m trying....
But they’re too powerful
Too strong
Do I really have no other choice
Than to sit through this agony?
And pretend I can drown them out?
