Voices Inside

Every night, they whisper to me
their words echo through my head
" you know you want to" they yelled and screamed
" do it now" they said

i glance over at my dresser
my past contained inside
the things held with in it
the pain i tried to hide

" walk over there and get it"
they would repeatedly say
pick up the knife
where it now lay

i hear the voices
surrounding my mind
and so i picked up the knife
for the very last time

i took it to myself
hoping I'd die
just so i could kill
the echoing voices deep inside
