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.
