Voices in my Head

Slowly I walk

I listen to the quiet talk

Of the voices in my head

As I lie in my bed

I listen to the sound

Of the voices in my head

They always scream and pound,

The voices in my head

Sometimes I wish,

I could just put on a mask,

And pretend that I am someone else

And not myself.

While listening to the voices in my head

The voices in my head

Tell me my reality,

They are always asking,

Why is it that even though you are loved,

You feel so alone?

I slowly fall asleep,

To the humming of the voices in my head

As I slumber deep

I see the faces,

Of the people that love me,

The people that see,

Who I really am

I am myself

And no one else

If I am truly loved,

Why should I change

The way people see

Who I truly am?

If the people I love dearly,

Love me for who I really am,

They love me for me.

Why do I need other people

When I have the ones that truly love me,

The ones who don’t run away,

Because of my differences,

Because of my atmosphere,

Because of my problems

The voices in my head have ceased,

My amount of friends increased,

Because of this feeling of being alone,

Is finally atoned

Now I have nothing to worry,

I don’t have to feel sorry

For myself

But for the voices in my head

That is there no more,

The voices in my head,

Can not hurt me or my mind

Anymore

I can take off this mask

And start to ask

My own questions,

I get to see my own life,

Through the eyes of others

I no longer have those dreams,

That makes me drown in my screams.

Goodbye voices in my head,

You cannot have this mind.
