The Inner Struggle
December 8, 2014
Night after night I lie awake
In my bed the voices attack me
Screaming "You're not enough." "Stop trying." "Just die."
But there's this little part of me that wants to try
"Stay." "Fight this." "Don't let them win."
Each night worse than the one before
Continuing to tease and taunt me more
"C'mon just a few pills and you'll be free." "No one will miss you." "What do you have to lose?"
And then I start to think to myself
Maybe they're right
Maybe tonight is the night
To say goodbye
