It’s the outside world I never hear.
It’s blocked by the voices in my ear.
“Hurt someone, yourself,” it said.
I can never stop the voices in my head.
It will not shut up, it’s a monster.
The happy me? It taunts her.
Maybe I am mentally ill.
These voices are the ones that kill.
What they say, I’ll never tell.
They are the ones that will take me to hell.
