• Poem: The Voice Part I:
  
  It drones. It screams.
  It is bursting at the seams.
  
  It pulls and pushes and throws.
  It keeps me on my toes.
  
  Should I? Should I not?
  Suddenly everything is hot.
  And a fire is burning in my veins
  that cannot be extinguished
  
  Without drowning myself.
  
  But I power through.
  For I must stay true.
  
  But this voice.
  
  It never gives me a choice.
  
  I must fear and scream and cry.
  And hold onto its every lie.
  
  When do I get a break?
  When do I quit having to fake?
  
  Sleep is the only escape.
  
  But I still can't fight.
  
  It's frustrating
  and somehow liberating.
  
  It is shameful yet invigorating.
  
  It is part of me.
  It is reality.

  The Voice Part II
  
  This force cannot seem
  to run its course.
  
  It gets stronger with every breath.
  Seeming to always
  evade death.
  
  It shape shifts
  It throws fits.
  
  It pounds the wall
  and breaks the glass.
  It refuses the questions
  I never ask.
  
  It is possessive
  and cruel.
  It makes me its fool.
  
  I never can shake it
  the grasp is too strong -
  And I would feel
  lonely, without it too long.
