Voices

whispering softly their words do tread  
 into my mind with haste and threat 
slowing engulfing all of me 
and loosing all of my sanity 
steadily they contemplate 
just how how to eliminate 
the faith i will to them forsake  
It is as if i am on a string 
a controlled and puppeted form of me
No decisions are of my own accord
For my voice they do ignore
 one by one they state their claim 
bickering inside my brain 
 the first of them is rational 
she forsees which way the cards will fall
cautious she is with her approach 
Propper living she does coach 
To the second of them she is much diverse
she is evil  as she is cursed
 She does one thing persistently 
is proving her lunacy
she alterse decieves with her trickery 
acting as a evil tyrant 
 she forces me to be  compliant
Number three she isnt here  
she wont be seen,  nor will entertain 
she had some place to be
where is your reality?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

The power & manipulation of the mind's eye and what it sees. It can be your best friend or worst enemy. This was excellently done!
