The voices in my head tell me to do things
But I resist
They rell me to cut myself
No, I refuse to
They yell and scream at me all day long
But still I ignore them
They taunt and tease me
They will not go away
So I take the knife and make a small cut
The voices get quieter but they are still there
One more small cut, I tell myself
Then they will be gone forever
So I cut again, and again and once more
The blood runs bright red from my arms
The voices are gone now
I am at peace
But I know they will come again
Next time I will be strong
I will not listen to them next time
