The voices
The voices
Why don’t they stop!
You should go there
You should be here
Why did you say that?
Why don’t you care?
Why did you do that?
You’re really bad
You always succeed in making me mad
My head aches
The voices go on
I look around the room
Where have they gone?
I’m all alone
Yet still the voices go on & on
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
I scream
Please go away
I can’t take this another day
What’s that I see?
A big shiny knife
Wait, there’s peace and quiet now
The voices have gone
Listen,
What? I can’t hear
Look,
Am I blind? I can’t see
Feel
Oh God, oh no, please don’t let it be
I don’t like this silence
I don’t like this pain
I’m sorry
Please forgive me
I realise now the voices were all in my head
Now it’s too late
I’ve taken my life
I’m dead!
