The Voices

Laying here. Can't Sleep. No sounds. Not a peep. Just these voices in my head. Why won't they leave me alone? I just want to go to bed! Driving me crazy! Insane! ...And perhaps even mad. And the only time I get glad, Is when these voices aren't putting me down, Making me sad, depressed, Frightened. No light. Can't see like I lost my sight and These voices are trying to decieve me. I hope they don't get the best of me. At first I thought it was my conscientious. Thought I was feeling guilty for all the wrong I've done. Until I heard another voice as well, Then three, Four, So many i can't keep count anymore. But okay, I get it, you probably think I'm crazy. In the middle of a cold, dark, lonely alley with no one around me and suddenly a scream, SHUT UP AND GET AWAY FROM ME! But no, you don't get it. You don't understand. Numerous voices telling me how worthless I am. I have no memories. All the pain from the past dwells in me. But it's not my fault, It's these voices in my head. All this started when I tried to go to bed. They told me all this would be better if i was dead. They promised me no one would care. So just maybe I should send this bullet through my head.
