The Voice In My Head

A ringing in my ears it is all that I can hear I see the sharpener looking at me It beckons to follow for it is just like me "Come here" it says but I will shake my head "I will not, I can not" I scream but the voice in my head gets louder and louder Each second it roars and I tell it I will not listen anymore But I know this is a lie because I will never get to tell that voice goodbye The voice is there it tells me it will be okay when I can't even imagine seeing another day The pain in the body quiets the pain in the mind they say but I just want to know when I will be okay How can I love myself when I'd trade this dumb body with anyone else So once again I will listen to the thoughts of my own I will pick up the sharpener I will take out the blade And I will do this for as long as I need because inside that loud voice will always be the one to lead That voice in my head, it wants me dead
