War

They are screaming inside of me

Trying their best to be heard

All four voices thunder within

Yet not a single one is heard

At least not from other people

They are only heard from me

For I am the only one who listens

But if others were to listen,

Well they too would hear the voices

Each of them saying different things

"They need to know"

"They'll disown you"

"She never loved you"

"She still needs time"

Each of them are pulling at me

At a different part of my body

They try to see how far I can stretch

So far they haven't figured it out

Day and night they yell at me

Each day they send out more troops to pull at me

They switch off every day

Some days the pulls are harder

Other days they are weaker

Most of the days they stay the same

I wish these wars would just stop

At least for a day

That's all I need

A day to heal to wounds they create

They cut at my body to take their piece

I never have enough time to heal them

By the time they scab over new ones are made

Won't someone help me

Help me with the war within

I can't seem to handle this

Not all alone

Please won't someone help me

I need to be saved

Someone...

Save me before it's too late...
