The Voice

This is more like a song than a poem. I had the song "Freak on a Leash" by Korn stuck in my head the day I wrote this. So, if you kinda sing the words they flow a lot better.


You are the voice inside my head.

Some days I can barely hear you there.

Some days you scream so loud it hurts.

I try so hard to live this life,

The way I think you want me to.

Sometimes its hard to break through this,

Pain and guilt I feel inside.

Why is it so hard to say these words,

"I'm sorry for all the things I did"

I never meant to hurt anyone but,

I am the only one to blame.

The cut marks on my skin,

Never matched the pain I felt inside.

With every pill I popped that day,

Never made the screams go away.

You are the voice inside my head.

Some days I can barely hear you there.

Some days you scream so loud it hurts.

Why can't I live up to your name.

You gave me this life but,

I just wasted it.

For years I waited for my last breath

But each day I would wake again.

What do you want me to do now.

I think I'm too scared to move on.

I hate the way I feel inside,

But there is no way I can't survive.

You are the voice inside my head.

Some days I can barely hear you there.

Some days you scream so loud it hurts.

I know now why you stay with me.

To help me make it through another day.

This pain will never go away

But now I am not afraid.

I can beat these fears of mine.

With only you on my side.

It's time to say good bye

To the blood stained razorblade.

You are the voice inside my head.

Some days I hear you loud and clear.

Some days I speak all by myself.
