The Voice

There is one voice heard
One that takes control.
Controls all my actions.
Controls my mind, body, and soul.

It is heard inside my head
And I can't make it go away.
No matter how hard I try
It seems it's always there to stay.

It tells me what to do
And even though I know it's wrong,
I always seem to listen.
Always seem to play along.

It makes me believe I am strong
When really I am weak.
I know it's only trying to hurt me
But I still can't turn the other cheek.

Why won't it leave?
Why won't it let me be?
Why is it so hard to fight it?
Why did it pick me?

There are so many things
That I still don't understand.
Like why I can't ignore it.
Why do I listen to it's commands?

So it's either life or death.
Do I even have a choice?
I'm trying so hard to live
But I can't keep living with this voice.
