My Scream Into the Void

The Nagging Voice

I don't listen to the voice that whispers, "you should die".
I know it's only purpose is to spread misery and lies.
And yet as I allow myself to wallow in self pity,
It tells me that right now sounds like a good time to start quitting.
And if I had direction it would be easier to ignore.
Instead it sounds like an angry mob pounding on my door.
"Find a way to fall asleep, never to wake up".
And every time, I hold on for the ones I love.
Is it a terrible thing that I think about this a lot?
And that this nagging voice inside is never really gone?
