Voices

I hear the voices
calling out to me
one by one
they are heard
growing louder and louder
when the noise begins to hurt
i cover my ears
but the sound seeps in
as all the voices boast emotions
now i try to speak up
but my voice is no where
so i grasp at my throat
pleading for a whisper
hearing only the silence
i cry at the sounds
its all meaning nothing
as deep down inside
i know it means something
when the voices i hear
are all in my head
