Voices

As I sit here in agony,

There are voices, 

Talking to me. 

Whispering horrible choices- 

But I have to choose.

They're closing in on me, 

Surrounding me. 

Screw it- I can't breathe. 

I have to end the voices in my head,

So naturally, I go to the box underneath my bed,

And drown some of them,

In my blood that I shed,

Seeping into the hem

Of my once beautiful sweater.

The voices go away for then,

But who knows for how long?

By the time I count to ten,

They could already be chanting another terrible song.
