The Voices I Hear
I’ve heard many voices
All around my head
And if it were my choice
I’d mute all they said
For years I have heard them
Since I was 20-years-old
And there’s been plenty of them
That constantly oppose
No one else could hear them
I finally came to accept
And I learned to pretend
They couldn’t make me upset
Silence was rare for them
Wherever I would go
And they insulted me time and again
‘til I would nearly explode
Psychologists said I was unique
When it came to my brain
They said it was a terrible disease
But at times one feels quite sane
The voices that I’ve heard
I continue to hear today
And each time they occur
I beg them not to stay
