VOICES ON THE INSIDE

Poem by Valerie

I hear voices,

Voices on the inside,

Saying I may not be good enough,

I may not be smart

I may not attain to that point in life.

 I hear voices on my inside,

Voices telling me to give up my goals ,all I have tried to gain.

Voices telling me to just stop.

 I try not to listen

I struggle not to give in but it’s hard,so damn hard.

What do I do when depression and loneliness clicks in?

How soon do I need to ask for help?

I can’t think straight anymore

I can’t do things like I used to.

Help! Who’s out there?

  Ok! I choose the other way if help doesn’t come then I will help myself.

I am not going to listen anymore.

I just don’t care but I am not going to listen to the voices within..
