"Voices"

A poem.

Voices scream inside my head
Reminding me, telling me
Everything I used to be
A year ago I was nearly dead, but
A year ago I was nearly free
And coming up on a happier time
And now it’s gone
It doesn’t matter anymore
And will it ever matter
Did it ever matter?
Oh yes, it did
And now what can I say
Except I am stronger
No, I am not strong and
No, I cannot take this for long but
I am stronger
Because of you
Voices sound inside my head
Pushing me, telling me
Everything I wanted to be
I am being put down and
I am being thrown around again
And no-one here to tell me it’s alright
And so it’s gone
It doesn’t matter anymore
And did it ever matter
Will it ever matter?
Oh yes, it will
And now what can I say
Except I am better
No, I am not righteous and
No, I will never be a saint but
I am better,
I am blessed
Because of you
Voices whisper in my head
Calling me, telling me
Everything I wanted to do
I am doing what I can and
I am not listening to my demons anymore
I am not listening to my demons anymore
No, I am not listening anymore...
The voices used to chide me
I don’t listen anymore... (because of you)
