The voice twists through my ears

it tells me I am not good enough

But no one else can hear it

It says everything is my fault

and is squeezes my brain tight

But no one else can feel it

It says Everyone hates me

And it lives behind my eyes

bug no one else can haar ut

It says I am gonna die

And it makes me cry

But no one else can hear it

It tells me I am ugly

Screams it really

How can you not he...

I lay here in darkness alone in the night,

Fear for my blanket, my eyes open wide.

Hush now there, don’t despair as you sleep.

I’m here, right beside you, watching you breathe

I tighten my grip on the fear that surrounds me

Where is the voice that whispers so loudly

Hush, now there, I’m here in the shadow.

Give me your fears, as I lay down beside you.

My body is frozen. Why can’t I escape?...

_Je ne suis pas belle._ [I am not beautiful.]

The mirror isn’t enough for me.

The makeup doesn’t make it better.

They say I’m pretty; I don’t agree,

I’m just a name, with distorted letters.

_Je ne suis pas. _ [I am not.]

My doubt could swallow me whole,

with its jaws snapping my neck,

and its words burning, yet ice cold.

It keeps you far worse than in check.

_Je ne suis pas belle, _ [I am not ...

(Loosely fits the prompt)

Get out of my head

I say

I scream

Or maybe the words

We’re just part of the dream

Maybe the school of ash

Was real

And my whole life isn’t.

Maybe I’ll-

NO.

I am awake.

I AM AWAKE.

I am awake

I am awake

i am awake

i am awake

am awake

am awake

awake

awake

awake

awake

GET OUT OF MY HEAD...

In the silence of the night, it whispers,

A melody that twists and lingers,

"Abandon the world of blinding light,

And step into the realm of endless night.

The shadows beckon, they call your name,

They promise you freedom, but only bring pain.

They say in their depths, you’ll finally see,

The beauty of what you're meant to be.

The shadows sing so beautifully

‘’ You can be free, just follow me...

I awaken from my bed,

Melodic singing in my head.

“Darling wont you come with me,

Ill make you feel truly free.”

Sickening shivers down my spine,

Tell myself that I’ll be fine.

“Darling I know that you can hear,

There is no need for you to fear.”

And despite my reluctant heart,

I feel the need to play the part.

Every word it draws me closer,

To my anonymous composer.

His voice growing louder still...

A silent blow of the wind

Turned to thunderous roars in the night

“Help” it says

“Don’t” it warns

It brings a scare

Though I don’t care

It tells the future

And that I value

My fear is nearly gone

When the worst hasn’t been said

“You’ll die” it states

No warning

No reason

The roars are gone

Not even a whisper now

The silent night mirrors my fear

“It is never wrong” I whisper in it’s...

There it was.

Lilting through

The air, down the

Alleyway.

The sound was so

Subtle, the faintest

reverberating echo.

There I was.

Frozen on the sidewalk,

Captive between

Two buildings, held

by the silence

Between when it was heard

And when I would hear it,

growing as it drew closer.

I could just make

Out the words and

The melody they carried,

A feather landing softly

On my ears.

The words c...

There’s words on the walls.

Voices inside the structure.

Handprints on the windows.

Words splayed on the mirror.

Whispers drift, mocking me.

I just want it to be over.

I’m tired of cleaning up

all the pools of blood…

It covers my hands…

My own crimson leaks from

my mouth. I blink it out of

my eyes and smile, happy.

The voices grow, running.

“Don’t be afraid,” they plead.

“Be very afraid,” I gro...

Centipede smiles spread across my skin.

Flesh crawler, dream wearer, I am.

Unwelcome in a mess of new thoughts.

Bleeding sentiment, behind closed walls.

The future clogs up inside my pours.

As it's already stale and greatly abhorred.

A shaking fear of a wanted distraction;

I close my ghost off with my hearts retraction.

My wielded words, are weapons of sorrow;

so follow me through to the ...
