Voices

Everyday when I awake I wish to G-d they'd go away
but there they are as loud as ever, companions for the day
I wonder how I still stay sane, conversations make no sense
The child, The man, The philanderer demanding recompense
they all join in to confuse this lost and lonely mind
I hope one day I'll conquer and leave them all behind

Hi Altinkum ~

This strong 'plea' [of sorts ~ until I find the word I really want] is very graphic in speaking to the feelings of helplessness and being controlled, felt by those who live with hearing voices.

These two lines really strike me:

but there they are as loud as ever, companions for the day
I wonder how I still stay sane, conversations make no sense

Hi Lizzy
Thanks for the comments. I had been out and had a couple of drinks so I think I just got carried away. It's usually at those times I put pen to paper, when I look at them the following day I,m usually glad I haven't posted them

Hi Altinkum ~

Or, maybe you should drink and write, or write when you drink, more often

~ I really liked it.
