Best Poems Written by Bella Chevrette

Voices

"do i deserve to be happy
or do i deserve to be dead?"
the thirteen words
that echo in my head
every night
while i lay in bed

and not even the sound
which is made by the rain
when it hits the concrete 
can distract me from these voices
which i cannot seem to defeat

"do it"
they say
"they won't miss you at all"
i fall and i fall 
i scratch and i bawl

and their voices have got me 
like a dog on a leash
they relentlessly faught me 
and they i cannot beat
