The Voices Within

by Amerasian   Apr 3, 2008


All these voices,
Within me,
Are so struggling,
To break free.

Free to cause joy,
Free to cause pain,
Making every one think,
Ive gone completely insane.

Each passing day,
I lose my strength,
Every passing hour,
The wall it crumbles.

They fall in line,
One at a time,
Ready to take control,
Im losing my will,
Im losing sight again.

Pitch black in this prison,
Called my mind,
With only one,
Thing to watch.

My body in mindless rage
Hurting my friends,
My family,
My hope to live on.

Chained to a chair,
Thats all I wish to be,
So no harm will come,
to the ones I love.

Or rather I die,
On this rusty, frozen floor,
To be rid of these things,
These beasts that take over.

And hopefully,
Set all those I have hurt,
Free of the pain,
That I, sadly, have caused.

Still they run thru my mind,
Beckoning me to do their evil.
They want to take over my broken-down body.
Want me to end my own life.

Shall I leave my friends,
My family,
To weep with my absence?
Or shall I keep living to fight the endless battles,
Within?

This is written by my friend CW. He is just starting at poetry but ya...I think that as a beginner his stuff is AMAZING!!! I just helped him fix a few things. Hope you like it!
