Analysis of The voices in my head



I ask the voices in my head, "why do you torment me so??", to which they do reply! "We need you here inside with us, trapped inside your head! Its dark in here and surely you must have known! We speak to you with visions of such great distain, as our means of keeping you locked inside ypur head! When you speak of this to others ,they look at you as someone whos surly nuts! So go ahead and cry my son, and hang your head with hurt, because no matter what you try to do, you'll never be rid of us!" So once again im stuck alone, trapped inside my head! I wonder if ill ever be free, from the voices inside my head! "No"! I dont see the future being ahead! But rather i hold the keys to a place were all are already dead, that place inside my head! So cold and so dark! When the world cracked open and fell apart, all that was left were these voices in my head! They scream at me and tell me how much i am unloved! They tie me down and keep me locked away in fear! They know how i mistrust! They call to me to come back home, they always knew i was inside! Torment has put its name in my mind! Carved in with the jagged edge of a rusty blade! So as these thoughts subside and the darkness fades! I say hello to this morning, and wait for the time they speak to me once again!
