Voices

The slight creak of the wooden floors.
The merry chirps of the singing birds.
The faded motor running in the distance.
The drop of water falling every minute.

Yet the sudden boom of voices
Turn louder with every second.
Words turning into a butcher knife
Slicing the soft noises into discarded fragments.

The voices come closer as they vibrate in my head.
Turning their bloodied knives towards me,
And carving me out like a pumpkin on Halloween.

The sweet soft noises are left in a heap
Next to my discard body.
Why did my life turn out like this?
