Beg for Silence

I wish I could stop the voices in my head
The ones telling me that I dont matter
That this world would be better off without me
It's not like I contribute anyway.

I wish I could shut up the one who's always yelling
Telling me I'm not good enough
That's it's because of me everyone's upset.

I wish I could silence the voice that comes next
The one that, when the others won't stop, starts screaming
Telling everyone to shut up
Over and over.

I wish I could rid myself of the last one
The one sniveling, the one begging God to make it stop
The one who's always the worst
The one who makes me cry

I wonder which one I see in the mirror
All I can see is puffy eyes, a defeated face
It's all so confusing, I don't know which is mine anymore
Maybe I'm none of them
Maybe I'm not there at all
