Horrible Whispers

These horrible whispers are back again
They are telling me I should bring my life to an end
I fight the whispers back like a hero who is brave
But I know one day they will send me to my grave
They use to come so little but now so much
Stronger with every blow they can throw me with one touch
I'm beaten I'm worn the whispers are too strong
I need some help I don't have long
My armor is cracked and I can not mend
But these horrible whispers are back again...

Seth, Since the beginning, the grapes ripen the same on all vines. Your life, yours for the breaking. But Life is more about the giving, less the taking. -Richard

I agree! Great sentiment. I use writing as a way to express out emotions. Especially if I am in a deep bout of depression. I know for me that inner voice can be a very destructive to my self worth during those times. I'm sure others feel that way at times too. That's why I wanted to share my poem :)
