The voices
May 4, 2021
I stop running.
From the voices,
From the guilt,
From the self loathe.
I try to catch my breath before they catch up,
And trap me
Holding tight on my skin
Never letting me go.
They try to choke me
As they fill my head with lies
I try running again
But their grip is too tight
They hold tight and never let go
I start to believe their lies,
Letting them fill my head to the brim.
I wish they would just go away
And leave me alone.
But I know that won’t happen
So the endless cycle repeats.

You try running from the voices trying to escape, but you realize you're just running from yourself.
