The Voices in my Head - Maggie Fitzgerald 7th Grade
The voices in my head are always screaming . Bloodcurdling wails of fury and shame and despair . The voices tell me I am nothing They tell me I am everything . They are shouting at me proudly and angrily . The voices hate me . The voices love me . I wish all the confusion would stop and I could have one moment of peace I wish the shouting would calm and I could breath I am choking on the overflowing anguish of my own thoughts I want to curl up in a dark empty room With no sound or distractions And fade away The voices tell me that . I want to get up and live my life I want to be surrounded by sound and movement and light I want to climb the highest mountains and make the hardest journeys The Voices tell me that . The voices tell me what to do and I listen . The only problem is the they never agree They tell me I am a stain on this earth And they tell me i am everything There is no gray space . I am everything Or nothing The voices told me that .
