The Voices Of Insanity.

Just a peom that came to me as i was sitting in class. No edits, straight from my mind o.o I don't really like it.. I might it edit it later on.

Whatever.

Enjoy~

 

I try to think of some escape,

From theseobscuredimages that steal my sanity.

How am i supposed to think straight,

When all i hear are these loud voices in my head.

They tell me i'm a failure,

They tell me to give up,

Their voices loud enough to make me scream.

Scream from the frustration,

The pain,

The fear.

I can't see the world in front of me,

All i see are images from my past.

These images full of blood, death, and pain.

I want to rip my eyes out,

Feel the blood dripping from my fingers.

I want to be blinded from the reality of this world.

These voices, these loud, haunting voices,

They're real.

They creep up to me at night and cut me open.

They watch me curl and twist,

They watch me scream and struggle.

They suck the life out of me,

They make me choke on all of my regrets and mistakes.

These voices, i can't fight them.

These voices, they cause my insanity.

These voices,

They sing me to sleep.

They sing a lullaby,

Their mouths full with my blood,

My soul in their hands,

My sanity in their minds.

They hover over me and sing me a lullaby,

Their voices low and soft.

I slip into their spell,

My head spinning,

My body twisting and turning.

I've sold my soul to the darkness in me.

A very powerful dark poem about negative thoughts or voices in the mind. Good exploration into the depths of one's soul. Everyone suffers this state of mind at one time or another. But some people more than others, Some hear seemingly audible voices and need help.

I love how the violent imagery is intertwined with the image of being sung a lullaby. Excellent piece here, and the fact that you didn't edit it makes it that much better in my opinion.

Oh my... Don't edit edit. Its raw and brilliant. At the very least, keep a copy of the original and then if you re-do. compare them before you decide. I love this.
PS, by raw i mean edgy and pacy, not meant to be detrimental in any way :)
