I put on headphones to block the voices in my head
They just get louder instead
Screaming about fear
About the "What ifs"
Forming nightmares in my mind
Making them seem real before my eyes
I try to think about something
Anything else
But the thoughts just go back to myself
Yelling about the future
Whispering about the past
Reminding me that happiness doesn't last
Showing me what went wrong
Saying it could happen again
Those thoughts are not my friends
They keep me up at night
Scare me during the day
Even creep into my dreams
Never fading away
The ghosts that haunt my mind
Killing me from the inside
