Voices

It is quite bizarre, 
I don’t even know who they are. 
I wonder if its an alert, 
Because they never leave me unhurt. 

They always make me think,
That is bad because then I rethink.  
I think of things from the past. 
Why must I get harassed?

I think its in my head,
Even after I bloodshed. 
Voices tell me bad things that make me weak.
Like to kill someone so to speak.

I hear the voices off and on,
Espically at the break of dawn.
Its far from paradise,
I should just be there sacrifice.

They want me dead and whatnot.
All it takes is one gunshot.
They tell that here I don’t belong,
I wonder if what they tell me is right or wrong.      

I will never be alone,
I will always hear their groan.
They appear out of a cloud of smoke;
I am serious, this is no joke.

So here I lay with bloodstain,
Literally I’m going to go insane.
And I have no other choice,
But to listen to their voice.

They simply don't know you. if you know what the say is not true. then one day they will see that they were stupid. anyway, people who don't know anything just need something or someone who is "different" to mess with. they have nothing BETTER to do. take care(: -Always&Forever Lynette
