Speaking Out

Breathe

Its too much

I've already got too many voices in my head

There is no room left

I can't shut them up

They complain

They shout and they screech

I'm trying to ignore them

Trying to drown them out with information

But no matter how much I ingest

The words off the page

It isn't digested

I force myself to stay awake

Keep a smile and make it through the day

Wanting to cry but they won't let me

I find myself wanting, craving, searching

I search for relief

Relief is found when

Blade meets skin

Pressure and force

Cuts, rips, bleeds

Finally, I breathe
