My name is Mary
I am crazy
Did you know that?
I can hear people from the inside
They tell me things
They say scratch
They say pick
They say bleed
I try and stay sane
It is hard to disobey my controllers
They say cuss
They say throw a fit
They say act like us
It is hard living a normal life
People stare at me
People talk about me
They say attack
They say bite
They say kick
The people don’t understand
They don’t understand how well they have it
I watch them
I yearn for their lives
I wish they could walk in place
So they can feel the torment I go through
I bet they wouldn’t last a day in my life
The voices will kill them
They would laugh
They would joke
They would punish
I wish people would realize that I did not choose to be this way
I wish they would understand if given the opportunity that I would kick these voices out of me
Cast them away like this was some game show
And I would be the winner
They say they are staying
They say they control me
They say they will live in me… forever
