the voices

                       
the dark utters                      
in hushed tones                      
speaks to you quietly                      
so no one else knows                      
                       
while you tremble                      
alone with its razor tongue                      
slashing & cutting                      
until you bleed internally                         
                       
the voices are relentless                      
when they smell blood                      
so you try & cauterize the wound                      
shake it off                      
but it's no good                      
                       
then the demons really become bold                      
& they go for the throat                      
           
"your soul is of no use                      
alive or dead                      
might as well end it                      
& be done with it"                      
                       
you cry out to the heavens                      
for delivery                      
you get an answering machine                      
god's not here                      
call again                      
                       
they ravage you deep into the night                      
til your heart can no longer cry                      
eyes bloodshot & puffy                      
exhausted from no sleep                      
                       
then you find                         
what you're really made of                      
as you start a new day                      
pick up all your pain                      
& put it in a bag                      
                       
then shoulder the weight                      
as if nothing were keeping you down                      
& envision the world like you stomped its face                 
like you burned it down
