The many of me inside this shell Watching and waiting but never to tell Confusion, destruction this doesn't bode well The many of me live here in hell Multitude voices inside my head Waiting and hoping but looking with dread Surfacing often to seal up the dead Bleed off the happiness offered instead Personality schism is all that I see Who is the other and who is the me Hoping and praying one day to be free Become one in wholeness the I and the me The voices, the voices, gather in power Sending me mad every day every hour My life disposed of; poisoned this flower Acid on skin as the voices turn sour The many of me scream in my skull Raging and storming gutting this hull All I am able, is wait for the lull Assert my dominion all voices to cull. The people inside me, the many of me Personally different each has their story How can I destroy them or set them free The child, the lover and crone bits of me. One day the voices inside my brain Will wander away and I'll breathe again, As softly, softly the whispers remain Echoes of madness gone with the rain. Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

they never go completely away, but that last line makes me feel the rain is also a refreshing cleansing of sorts....this is very deep, Kethry. |

yanno, Keth - that's what I like about you - every date is a double date! lol Neat work is shown here. The flow is superb, as it usually is when you sit down to write. The conclusion of hope was a great exit. |
