Voices

I can hear them all talking, the shadows on the wall,
I can see them all walking, up and down the hall.
The voices in my head talk about me a lot,
Saying negative things leaving me completely distraught.
I've sought out help, so it's pills my doctors prescribe, 
Pill after pill I swallow, yet I still can not describe what then comes to follow.
Every day, without a doubt,
I hear these voices scream and shout.
Everywhere I go, no matter what I do,
The voices are talking to me , not to you.
No one else hears what these voices chatter in my brain,
I can not take this much longer, I am going insane.
I feel it's happening and I'm going to Crack,
All I want is my sanity back.
