Tethered to the past
Time began with voices
Whispering in the head
They often made the choices
Enshrouded with dread
What do they want?
Loud with decisions
Why do they taunt?
Constant collisions
But along came you
A goofy smile spread
You were troubled too
Together we tread
A cheek to kiss
A hand to hold
Here in the abyss
Sweet whispers told
How theyd coo
Seemingly harmonized
The luck to have met you
I was surprised
Free I wished
From the bickering chorus
You were a gift
Who was i before us?
But as time went on
Disputes ignite
I'm merely a pawn
In their fight
Mistakes persists
You pour your heart,
Through clenched fists
I broke us apart
At fault was I
To think they were fixed
I felt you cry
My feelings mixed
Trapped with the past
The future unfolds
How did I outlast
The shiniest of golds
The future rushed
The present adrift
The past hushed
Life must be treated like a gift
Whispering in the head

some gifts remain
some lost
memories cling
but some fade
we are but a second
in the universe's timescale

i have been fortunate in that my voices have not spoken to me in a negative overtone
but sometimes i see people attached to the voices (others don't see and i've been called into many an office at several jobs) and we chat.
i also have come to the conclusion that it's very difficult for someone to actually LOVE those of us who exhibit a mental illness (schizophrenic here).
Overall, i like the rhyming scheme (maybe because i struggle at rhyming)
well done
and welcome to the Deep (end of the pond)
