Voices

Voices, voices
everywhere
in the wind,
in my head
calling out,
mocking me
laughing at my pain.

Voices fill the room
everywhere I go
in the shower, in the bed,
at the store, in my head;
teasing and taunting,
filling the room
leaving me gasping,
begging for air.

Everywhere voices
following my every move
criticizing and tormenting
everything I do.
Voices, voices
in my head
sounds of strangers,
sounds of you
watching everything I do
convincing me I'm wrong,
that I'm not good enough.

Voices, voices
echoing in my head,
Filling up every space,
pushing me to the brink,
farther in the darkness.
Drowning in a black sea
of voices.
