The Voices

The voices in my head told me that I could take the pain away
They told me it would be easy
No would would miss me
No one would care
So I listened
I agreed
I bled for the sake of release

The voices in my head threatened me
They taunted me
Told me "Do it, you won't"
You're too weak
Too naive
So I showed them
And they laughed
I bled for the sake of belief

The voices in my head told me they would leave
They told me all I'd have to do is one thing
I would have to bleed
Kiss and hug my family one last time
Then I'd be free
So I bled to show them my selfishness

The voices
They lied to me
They cared
I can still hear their cries
The mourning and the grief
It hurts me more than the voices ever could
Yet, I didn't think
I wanted to be free of the temporary pain
I bled in the name of stupidity

Now I'm forever locked in a pain that can never change
I will cry every night for hurting the one's I loved
Even though I left them, I wish I knew better
I hope the love I had for them is what is remembered
Not my selfishness, my pain

My body was temporary
My soul is forever
A little piece is stored safely within each of their still beating hearts
Please don't hold the pain I once had
Hold the happiness that should have been shared
Look forward to the future

At some point you'll see me again
I will wait as long as needed to be with you
Because I don't want to see you soon

this is a very sad and nice poem. You're really good. You shouldn't feel so sad

This was actually written shortly after I found out about the death of a good friend's sister. She had committed suicide and I wanted to create a poem that could possibly explain what she might have been thinking. I will never know if it was this exact reasoning why she did, but i know with this poem she will never be forgotten by myself, her brother, and all of her friends.
