Anxiety Wars

Its quiet now, the silence thick Only my thoughts to make me sick My head so loud as the voices talk Back and forth I rock and rock Shut it off I prey and prey But no matter what the voices stay They quiet down, I think they are gone Finally tired I silently yawn Just as sleep is about to arrive The voices awaken, they're still alive There is no break, they pick and pick Like the clock on the wall, tick, tick Truth of their words make my stomach turn My same mistakes, you would think I'd learn I'll be alone for the rest of my life Why would any man want this as a wife? Fear and anger consume each night Oh my God, what if they're right? Happiness seems so far away Only misery has chosen to stay My little girl dreams may never come true They're slipping away but what can I do But no matter what my life will go on Despite the regrets that have come and gone One day maybe it will all work out Til then I have no hope, nothing but doubt
