Voices In My Head

Closed my eyes to evade the light, hidden away in the dark.

        Wherever I go, the shadows shall lurk;

Lies shrouding my vision, deceit clouding my precision,

        I gave myself away at the Devil's decision.

I tried hard to please the crowd,

    My goal was to make my parents proud;

Yet they mock me as I walk the stairs,

    I fall headfirst in a game of musical chairs.

My life was a cage, my mind mostly dazed,

    The pills I took, left me crazed;

Treated like a fragile vase, a ticking bomb as they name,

     The institutions could not clear off my insanity's              fame.

Nights I was left alone, days I spent in agony,

      I was framed as the Queen of Baloney,

Spinning around in aimless circles,

      I died to put an end to my ceaseless hurdles.
