The Voice

I can hear your voice loud and clear;

your voice that's whispering in my ear:

'you will never be worth a place

on this Earth, you waste of space'.

I'm always too scared to go out

with the constant fear that you'll shout:

'do it, go jump in front of that car',

your soul as cold and black as the tar.

So I obey my morals and hide in my room

(Satan's temple of my misery and doom).

Constantly oppressed by an omnipresent grief;

my razor blade being my only relief

Another cut upon my wrist,

another life ending with a twist,

I should have thrown that poison away,

but you insisted for my pain to stay.

It's far too late to turn back now,

I can't reverse, I've sworn my vow

that, in exchange for my lifeless soul,

the devil will let me reach my goal.

Staring through the window of the noose,

I see a utopia; a life of use.

I heard your voice one last time,

melodic and blissful, and oh so sublime.

'You're off to a realm six feet deep,

surrounded by darkness in a life of sleep.

Only you are to blame for the reason you fled

for I am your own voice inside your own head.'
