Is It Finished

The death of something does not have to gruesome

It does not need to be planned

It does not even need to be intentional

But a murder is gruesome

It is planned

It is intentional

She tried to fight it

But it was one thing she could not escape 

They told her she was unworthy

That she wasn’t perfect

That no one liked her

That saying hi was scary 

That her words were meaningless

It always ran through her head 

The doubt

The worry

Until she couldn’t take it

She was through

All the voices 

They need to be gone

She needed it to stop

She wanted an escape

Then there was silence 

And for a moment she was content 

The doubt never creeped back in

The voices never ridiculed her

Everything stopped

Just for her

It was over 

One by one she plucked out the voices

Leaving herself empty and broken

The genocide was over

And all that was left was a shell

A corpse of a person with nothing left 

The voices were gone

But so was everything else
