Voices

Voices

A Poem by Sarah W. French
"

I wrote this after reading another poem.

"
The voices cry out to me
Telling me their woes
Yelling their hatred
And giving me their broken dreams
But I can't help them when I can't help myself

The voices cry out to me
Telling me to jump
Yelling my problems back at my face
And showing my fears in my eyes
But they don't stop there

The voices cry out to me
Telling me to stop
Yelling that it's not that bad
And then stabbing me in the back
But they won't leave

I believe the voices 
Every word they say
Though some may say I'm crazy
Or some may say I'm mad
I know the voices are real
For I know them each by name

Lovely, lovely piece of work here. Only a few spelling corrections here.
Lines 2 and 4: "their" instead of "there"
Line 13: "it's" instead of "its"

Also, I believe that if you used punctuation to your advantage in your poems, the rhythm would flow more.

Wow, great interspective. I've discovered in life that the voices calling are not so wise as they might appear. How can they solve your delema when they can barely handle their own. They don't know, or truely understand the circumstances of the situation. The only voice I can really trust is my own, and sometimes I'm not too sure about that. I think this might fall under the philosophy of "Physician heal thyself."
