Poems

Voices

I’m hearing them again

They tell me to fall,

To fade, 

To give way.

I block my ears trying to get rid of them

But I can’t because I cannot hear them through my ears

Cannot feel their breath on my neck as they talk to me

Because they are not real

Not real to the world

Only to me

Because the voices are in my brain

And they will never leave

They own me

I am forever theirs

And slowly they will kill me

Eat me away with their words

And that is what truly scares me.
