My Voices

They appeared inside my head under a false guise,

they pretended to be nice

but it was all lies.

As they took off they're masks,

all I did want to ask,

was why their facade couldn't last?

They started to taunt me,

about things I had done,

promised to free me

if I used the gun.

They instructed me not to talk,

eat, sleep, or breathe,

and whenever I do,

they do give me grief.

"I don't deserve this",

"I don't deserve that",

"I should kill myself",

"I really am fat",

I used to not believe them,

but proof I do now's hidden under my sleeve hem.

They are my rice crispies,

my voices,

forever forcing me to make unwanted choices

until the very end.
