What do they say to you?
The voices inside your head,
Are they unhelpful?
Or are they your best friends?
Do they give you views on right and wrong?
Or take away the pain,
Do you really need them?
Or is it an excuse for the rain
From your eyes

Shall we sit in this silence?
Let our faces do the communicating
Shall we sit in this silence?
Waiting for the end,
Is everything ok?
Is everything all right?
Tell me. Before we run out of expressions.

It’s easy to believe you’ll be fine,
Then it gets harder than it seems,
You hide the face,
Yeah, I’m pretty good at feelings.

Do the voices in your head tell you what to do?
Do they surround you and tell you it’s not true.
Do the voices in your head walk you off the ledge?
Do they smother you and walk you away.
To a better day
Are you getting better?
Or is it just the same.

I’d tell you not to cry,
To dry your eyes, and smile.
But it’s too late,
It would be the same as
Telling you to die,
To say good-bye’s and fly.

Are the voices telling you to hate?
Or do they sit in silence,
And wait.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World.

This IS really great.

--That part in particular just really stood out at me, but the write as a whole is very cool too...great job!

damn it girl. your poems drive me crazy with their sheer brilliance. i am always in so much awe of the power behind your writing.

Excellent! Sometimes I wish I could turn off the voices, but they sometimes are a necessary evil. We all need them, that's what makes us who we are. Great job, Steve.
