Voices

Sometimes I hear voices in my head,
Mocking, laughing, teasing and taunting.
They like to tell me that I'm not good enough,
They tell me that I always pretend to be tough.
Sometimes I ignore them and pretend they don't exist,
But sometimes it's just too much for me to take.
Then I break down and tug at my hair,
Because sometimes these voices are too much to bear.
They scream at me when I'm trying to sleep,
They scare me at times because they're all so real.
The voices are never quiet,
No,
They're always so loud.
But maybe one day I'll learn to shut them out.
