The voices

A battle between the good and bad

In my head

The voices roam

coming out when I'm alone.

 

No decision goes untouched

as both the voices add their hunch

One voice likes the light of day

Her sweet voice keeping the darkness at bay

I call her sunshine for that's how she feels

With her radiant glow and caring ideals.

But when Sunshine starts fades to black

The second voice decides to attack

His name is Gloom for that's how he feels

With his shrill voice and dreadful ideals.

There is no chance of getting away

Gloom loves to come and play

Dancing in your darkest fears

Skipping through your worst nightmares

Forcing you to a corner of your mind

The part which you didn't want to find

You struggle all night

Anything to win the fight

But as it happens everyday

Gloom fades at the first stroke of day.

And then Sunshine's back 

with her Smile intact 

and my mind is back at bay

But only until the end of the day 

When Gloom comes back to play.

I like how you personified your conscious self and your subconscious dreamscape self. It gives perspective on how up and down one person's mind can be at different times. Very well thought out.
