Voices

What would you do with those voices?

So many voices
Can't get away.
Many deny the joy of my birth.
Few encourage me to live.
All speak to me in riddles.
Which should I listen to?

So many voices
Screaming in my head.
No escape now
It's too late.

Should I listen to the majority?
Who tell me that I should regret the day of my birth
and hate the life that I live.
Or should I listen to the few that tell me
to live and be happy.

How can I listen to the screaming voices?
Pain, blood, agony, suffering some scream at me.
Happiness, family, joy, the others wail.
Listen to neither my own thoughts say.
But how do I keep them away?
Pray. My thoughts say.
Then they shall leave.

So many voices, quieting down.
Now am I free?
