Voices

As I lay awake in bed
So many thoughts going around
With the voice inside my head
All my worries and fears surround
He's on repeat all day long
I'm not sure how to be strong
The nightmares are so vivid
I'm afraid to fall asleep
Because I know ill wake up livid
Angry at him, angry at me
But none of you can see
What pain is within
The voices always win
I cut myself to be free
But he wont let that be
Thats what he wants
For me to give in, then he's back
He presses into my brain
Like a thumb tack
I will never go back to normal
