The Voice

Something i struggle with almost every day

You pathetic low life. Youve no purpose youve no reason to breath.
Youre just waste of space.
The voice i battle with every day.
As if it were a ghost, an invisible demon, whispering little things into my ear. Always on the verge of. insanity but never quite there. I will fight back. I must. For my demons may win the battle but they'll never succeed in war. If perhaps they do, they'll never take my crown. Ive a purpose ive a reason to be here even if i haven't found it yet i know some people care for me if even one.
Thats all it takes is one.
Similar to a match, one match can start a fuse causing an explosion. I feel alone at times. In a world full of people one may question how it is possible and another may understand. That is the difference between you and i.
You're worthless. Youll grow up.
to be a thug living in a box. Youll never accomplish anything.
All of this from one voice. Putting me on edge numerous times almost succeeding. I must tell myself that i will accomplish my dreams. Because once everything leave they'll be all ive got. Ive got a reason to live! Ive got a reason to be here! I scream at the world as it comes crashing down upon me. I struggle to hold it up.
Slowly crumbling. Slowly wasting. Soon enough itll weigh me down. Soon enough i must drop it before i fall. Ive fallen many times, but ive only ever fallen in love once. Ill die eventually and maybe then ill finally be able to think peacefully instead of swimming in a sea of emotions with sharks fixing to shred my body to pieces leaving the water a dark red soon to dilute back to the color it once was.
This voice, This demon of mine slowly grinding tearing at my will. Yet as they rip it to bits there is but a few managing to build it back up. There are two exact animals within all of us. One is good the other evil. If you wonder which one which one will live. Its quite simply the one you feed.

Woah. That, I thought, was really good. True, I haven't seen much poetry on this site, but anyone could say at least five or more good things about that poem. That was a very emotional piece and I like it very much.
