The Voices

there's screaming everywhere
and i don't care
what's the use in thinking anymore?
there's sh*t in my life
and i don't care
what's the use in trying anymore?

slaughter all these demons in my head
don't awaken any ancient feelings of i'll fade in the pain
it's so cold in this alienation
but it's numb in your company

there's screaming everywhere
but i won't change
what's the use in listening anymore?
there's smoke all through my mind
but i won't change
what's the use in clarity anymore?

it's all or nothing
don't tempt me with your everything
if i'm going to end up with zero
alone on the ground with an empty heart again, a broken spirit again
my blood, sweat and tears smudged like emotional oil all around
it's so cold...

there's still this screaming here
how can i care?
how can i stop it when it's all my own?
there's voices inside my soul
how can i care?
what's the use in crying anymore?
use up my life for dying on the floor

I enjoyed this poem, been there myself I can assure you.  Welcome again to DP.  And could you do me a favour and change the asterisk for another word.  It wouldn't change the meaning at all.  I can do it, if you'd prefer.  Any problems?  Please remember my welcome and feel free to email me.


 Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

I definitely hear what you are saying. I loved the line "but its numb in your company"
Reminiscent of an old Pink Floyd song
