Every night, I heard small voices;

They started as little whispers,

Spilling sweet poison in my ears;

I attempted to block them out.

After days, they became stronger;

They surrounded me, pounding my head.

I could barely breathe when they spoke,

Filling me with thoughts I never would think,

Telling me to do things I never would do;

Steal that girls stupid teddy.

I stole my best friends teddy.

Hit your brother, he needs it.

I broke my brothers pale arm.

Tell your mother to screw off,

You can do what you want to.

I cursed at my mother hard.

Kill them. Kill every single one, Lei.

I grabbed the kitchen knife,

Then dropped it when they stopped.

I cried to my own mother.

My mother gave me medicine

To stop me from hearing the voices,

But, it doesnt help anymore;

She sent me away after.

That was a long time ago;

It only made it worse for me,

And even made them stronger than before.

I try, but cannot escape.

I see things that are after me;

Monsters waiting in darkness,

Ready to pounce any time.

Help me please; Help me escape them.

Being locked in here makes it easy

For them to get in my room.

You cannot keep me here long,

These white walls turn black when dark;

The voices still talk to me.

Please help me. Please help me. Please, please
