6. The voices

99 14 3
                                    

the voices whisper

they call out to me

They scream

They laugh at me


Should I listen?

Should I care?


The screaming won't stop

I can't tell the difference

between the screaming in my head

and my own


Stop it, stop!

I can't ignore them anymore


For the voices whisper

They call out to me

They scream

They laugh at me


I can't ignore them anymore

No, don't pity me

They are right

and this is my goodbye
