Schizophrenia

I awake violently
To shadows surrounding me
Pulling and grabbing for me
I pull the covers back over
Pleading for it to all end
I shut my eyes tightly
Begging for mercy
For them to part
I cannot take much more
I climb out of bed
I reach for my razor
Like other times before
I run the cool blade across my arms
Watching the crimson liquid
Drips out of my fresh cuts
Silence over takes me once more
The voices have gone
Until tomorrow night
