The voices
A familiar voice pounds in my head,
repeating phrases I've never heard said.
It says I won't be good enough, no matter what I do
It says that I should just give up, because I don't know what to do.
Over and over again, I question my sanity,
I guess that proves its there.
But I can't help but to wonder...
Whose voice is this, that fills my mind?
I know it but it doesn't come with a face.
I begin to obsess,
My life is blurring, it's becoming a haze.
As I sit alone in the silent safety of my own bedroom,
the words echo in my mind.
I say them aloud, and the voices match,
perfectly synchronized.
All this time it was just me,
Obsessing on my own self doubt.
It was my own voice, calling to me.
My own voice, pulling me down.
Once again I apologize for not writing as much... I have been VERY caught up recently in.. teenage drama, school, family, and I haven't been able to find the time to write as much or as well, let alone type it up and post it... And I am truley sorry. But thank you so much for those of you who are regular (or as regular as I allow you to be lol) readers and continue to check up on my writings... I have not, nor will I ever, give up the art of poetry. It is my life, my passion, my "talent", and I love it above all other things. Thank you to those of you who realize this and continue to take the time to read my work :). I appreciate it SO much. :)
Now, with that out of the way, I am in desperate need of feedback for this one.. When i finally had the time, i sat down in my room, and wrote... i got to the final line, re-read it, and didn't quite think that it seemed final. It seemed so unfinished at the time, but my brain was all of a sudden blank of all ideas. I got to school the next day and in first hour my teacher gave us about 20 minutes of free time. In this time I picked up my pencil and read over the work I started the night before, once again unable to write another word.
But this time it seemed so much more...complete. I like this poem a lot, but I'm not sure if my "writers block" (if thats what you want to call it) caused it to seem so complete.
So let me know. :) thanks again for taking your time to not only read my poetry, but to read my little sidenotes as well. :)
