I hear you
your whispers crawlin thru my mind
tellin me I’m nothin
that I’ve been broken too long
I feel you
wrappin round my throat
tightenin til I can’t breathe
til I’m suffocatin under these thoughts
drownin in the noise I can’t shut out
you fill me with emptiness
flood me with fears
tell me I’ll never be enough
I’ll never find my way outa this mess
that I’ve been torn apart too many times
to ever be whole again
I listen
what else can I do?
you’ve been in my head so long
I dunno how to drown you out
I’ve tried fightin you
but the fight’s too damn heavy
and somewhere along the way
I stopped tryin to win
b/c you’ve settled in so deep
that even when I’m screamin
I can’t hear myself over you
you’re louder than my voice
but maybe that’s for the best
maybe it’s easier to let you
have the last word

The noise is breaking you down, and you cannot see the way out other than to let it talk till it dies out. Interesting.
hello dearest poet you have to fight that I do with my voices which is different but blocking them out is the same I still feel them around me at a perimeter but I don’t let them take over this is a great write 💕
I don’t know if I’m reading this correctly, but this feels much like the demons we build in our minds from voices heard or implied over years. The voices become our own. And there’s no escaping the mind. Powerfully written
Powerful work.
