Depression/Suicide/Etc. Hello, my friends inside my head
The ones that keep me company
The ones that well-wish me dead
And save me from my sanity
I get angry and you get loud
I cry and hear your jumbled whispers
Hear you all above the crowd
And these voices are getting crisper
“Just cut yourself, see the blood!
We’ll go away if you do!!”
You keep me up all night long
But my only company is you
People ask who I’m talking to
I say “oh, just the voices in my head”
They think I’m being funny
But they didn’t hear what the voices said
And when I look into the mirror
Among themselves they begin to chat
The voices are getting nearer
Shouting “You’re so dumb and fat!!”
“Eat whatever you want
Promise, we won’t tell!
Puke it up, lose the weight
You’re so ugly” in unison they yell
So I eat, I throw it up
I lose the weight like I agreed
Hoping they’d go away
But now they’re wanting me to bleed
“Look at the shiny blade
I wonder how sharp it is
Draw the blood that we crave
And then we’ll be dismissed”
Picked it up and saw my face
Inside the burnished steel
“Yeah, you know you’re fat and ugly
Cut yourself now!” they loudly squeal
“SHUT UP! BE QUIET!” I cry
And you ask me who is there
The voices screech out and sigh
“You know nobody cares”
So I argue with my voices
But they just won’t relent
And others see my choices
On the body I resent
