Understand, they tell you lies
Make haste when you hear their cries
Don’t take them to bed
Let them go
They do not know
Nor do they care if you are dead
Nor do they care if you are well
These voices in your head
Sinful, vicious lies they tell
Always keep you in a spell
They are the jackal of hell.
Make up your mind
Now is the time
Show a strength to them instead
Do not take them to your bed
They will spread their dread
These voices in your head.
There is goodness in your heart
The voices tear you apart
Come out of the dark
Make a new start
Do not struggle lest them outsmart.
To the world you pretend
With a wonderful show
No one would know
These voices lay low
Internal games and condescend
And will ascend if you try to defend.
Let go their foul play
Thinking the same thoughts everyday
No longer delay
Take courage I pray
And feel how you grow
Life will echo a brilliance of glow.
I have them as well
Their yells and their spells
Though they are meagre and stray
I live without this worry and doubt
And so I say
You too can live this wonderful way.
