Schizophrenia
It is always silent here,
And the silence
Burns my sanity away,
Piece by piece.
It fades away into the chilling wind.
That’s when the demons awake.
They begin to growl
Like a rabid, bloodthirsty wolf.
Ungodly voices begin to whisper,
Their words full of malice.
They call me a murderer.
Then they look into my heart,
And remind me of my guilt.
The regret fills my mind,
And swallows me whole.
I use substance to end them,
Though they always come back.
There is no escape,
When you’re running from yourself.
What does it take to sever the voices?
My world becomes hopeless,
Emptiness surrounds me,
The skies in my life shatter,
And I’ve grown tired of living.
If I pray will it stop?
Emptiness overwhelms me,
And my conscience dies.
I know the price I have to pay,
To take my own life away.
The pain will finally cease.
