The Voices Oh the Voices

Understand, they tell you lies Make haste when you hear their cries Don’t take them to bed Let them go They do not know Nor do they care if you are dead Nor do they care if you are well These voices in your head Sinful, vicious lies they tell Always keep you in a spell They are the jackal of hell. Make up your mind Now is the time Show a strength to them instead Do not take them to your bed They will spread their dread These voices in your head. There is goodness in your heart The voices tear you apart Come out of the dark Make a new start Do not struggle lest them outsmart. To the world you pretend With a wonderful show No one would know These voices lay low Internal games and condescend And will ascend if you try to defend. Let go their foul play Thinking the same thoughts everyday No longer delay Take courage I pray And feel how you grow Life will echo a brilliance of glow. I have them as well Their yells and their spells Though they are meagre and stray I live without this worry and doubt And so I say You too can live this wonderful way
