The Voices I Hear

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

    Good write w c. You have a faith, I believe. You 'hear the Lord's voice' as one of His sheep. Keep telling those other voices not to stay.
