VOICES IN MY HEAD

VOICES IN MY HEAD

I’m vehement I won’t listen to these gibbering voices in my head

They lead me on a merry dance that makes the chatter worse

They encourage me to get things wrong, I’m confused and quite misled

I’m suffering such torments, while they cackle and converse

It's torture all the screaming, the cacophony in my head

I wish I could just hush them, put them all away to bed

I’d pour iced water in my brain and freeze it till it’s dead

Ignoring the damn voices makes them yell at me and curse

There is no means of parting from their wicked evil verse

It appears that I’m to share my life with voices in my head

At least with them I’m not alone; I suppose it could be worse.
