I Hear Voices

I hear voices telling me to stop 
I hear voices telling me to go;
I hear your voice laughing at me,
I hear my voice strangled choking;

I hear voices telling me ‘You’re ugly.’
Those same voices will say ‘You’re pretty.’

I hear voices telling me ‘You aren’t loved .’
I hear voices say ‘and you never were.’
I hear your voice saying nothing,
I hear my voice echoing my insanity;

I hear voices telling me ‘You’re ugly.’
Those same voices will say ‘You’re pretty.‘

I hear voices cursing my vulnerability;
I hear you taking advantage of kindness,
among other things;
I hear my voice growing not speaking.

I hear voices that say you’re ugly, crazy.
I hear voices that lie and tell the truth.
