Voices

Why don't you see them?!
they're right there!
you tell me they don't exist,
you don't care.

i see them, can't you?
the spiders on the wall?
they're coming closer now,
faster and faster they start to crawl.

i try to hide,
i can't escape.
i cry and scream,
i start to shake.

the voices speak,
the people behind the walls.
they speak too fast,
everything falls.

why don't you here them?!
they're speaking so loud!
you say we're alone,
and i need to stop thinking aloud.

i can feel my nails growing,
but they're too slow.
they're breaking the pattern,
i try to make them grow.

the spiders are closing in.
they never stop coming.
they turn everything black,
they are very unbecoming.

the voices are too loud.
my head starts to hurt.
i start to scream,
i fall into the dirt.

the light is absorbed into darkness,
i am engulfed within the voices.
they tell me i need to die,
and i am running out of choices...
