The Voices

It started with one voice, then another, and another.
Shortly, it developed into a whole audience in my head.
Laughing at every inconvenience, pointing out ever flaw.

They attack every insecurity, nothing is safe.
Create so much anxiety and saw I'm the problem.
I feel so powerless to them, how do you fight your mind?

These voices never cease,
They are relentless.
I hear them every second, every minute of every day.

I cringe at the memories I am forced to relive.
Every humiliating mistake, every misstep.
I get no rest, no peace. Just these invasive thoughts.

So I blare my music, this noise is capable of tuning them out.
It seems to be the only thing that turns their deafening screams to a whisper or a far away yell.
