Voices
The voices in my head
Scream and yell,
Laugh and mock,
With their cringing cackles like nails on a chalkboard.
Drowning me in their cauldron of chaos,
They manipulate me,
They torture me.
I cannot escape,
Imprisoned,
By the gate that locks me away from the outside world.
I am suffocated,
I have no room to breathe anymore
As their sharp claws tighten around my throat.
The person I once was has disappeared
And is now molded into a monster,
A liar,
A theif,
A murderer.
They use me as a mask
To cover themselves and show me as the villain
Using my hands, my eyes,
Forcing me to replay these visions in my head.
They strip off my vitality
Leaving me powerless, weak.
Like a marionette,
They use the strings to unleash themselves.
These demons in my head
Will never stop
No matter how much I beg and plead.
They will scoff and ignore me
Like I am nothing but air.
Looking down at me with their Joker grin
They drag me down into the darkness
Where there is no light anywhere to be found
With just the stench of guilt and sorrow surrounding me
Slowly, they drain the life out of me
Leaving me in a puddle of a scarlet red.
All alone,
I wait for my inevitable death,
When Hades will take me into his arms
And save me.
