Lyrical Sunday - Voice

The Voice.

The voice in my head,
Repeats everything you said.
The voice in my head,
Wishes I were dead.
The voice in my head,
Pours salt in the wound.
The voice in my head,
berates and condemns.
The voice in my head
fills me with loathing.
The voice in my head,
repeats and repeats.
The voice in my head -
is yours.

Voice of  Reason.

It tells the why.
It tells the how. 
It tells the what.

It tells the where.
It even tells me who.
But I can't quite hear it yet.
I can't quite make out the words.
They are muffled by the world falling in on me.
Soon I will hit the bottom of the sink hole.
I will be able to clear my head.
I will be able to hear again.
I will know who I am.
I will know where I am.
I will know what I am.
I will know how I am. 
I will know why -
I will be the voice. Not the reason.

  3. Two poems for the price of one.

    I like how the second one looks like someone standing with their hands on their hips! Reminds me of those poems in the shape of animals and other figures.
