The Mind's Torment

I hear the voices in my head.

They whisper, shout, and scream.

They tell me things I don't want to hear.

They make me doubt my dreams.

 

They mock me for my failures.

They haunt me with my fears.

They fill me with anxiety.

They bring me to tears.

 

They never leave me alone.

They always find a way.

To torment me with their words

To ruin my day

 

I wish I could silence them.

I wish I could be free.

But they are part of me.

They are my mind's torment.
