Cryptic glares

Voices in my ears

Why are you staring

Whispers around me

Rain soaked and cold

Shivers besiege me

The voices are laughing

Leave me alone!

Thunder outside stills

my heart, lightening

in the skies, in my ears

I clutch the sides of my head

Kneel down on the floor

Huddle against the cold wet wall

A rat scuttles past me

Eyes devilishly red

Staring into me as he runs

Into the dark alley beside me

The voices start screaming

my name over and over

Or is that my screams

Please make it stop,

still the voices inside my head

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep

The alarm blares into my room

I sit up fast, drenched in sweat

A dream, just a dream,

Same dream every-night

it was just a dream

I get up and stretch,

My breath ragged from

the screams within me

Finally, I look into the

many mirrors scattered

along the dark walls

And greet my voices good morning
