Mind Sickness
I wish you could hear my silent screams,
but when I try to speak there is only silence.
I am a sickness
with unknown voices
haunting like ghosts in my mind.
I just want them to stop.
I can’t get them to stop,
these awful screams
torturing my mind.
But sometimes there is silence,
and I begin to fear that the voices
are gone and it has ended, this sickness.
Do I really want to end this sickness?
Do I want it to stop?
No more voices,
no more screams.
Nothing but silence
inside my mind.
I am left with an empty mind
and I start to miss the sickness.
I can’t stand the silence;
I want it to stop.
I don’t miss the screams,
But I find myself missing the voices.
Without the voices
squabbling in my mind,
I am left with the screams
from this sickness.
And when the screaming comes to a stop,
I am left with silence.
Maybe I am most afraid of the silence
and am comforted by the voices.
When it all starts to stop,
I am distraught because my mind
has been ruined by the sickness
and all I can hear are my own empty screams.
I need to stop living in my mind.
Being alone brings silence and that brings the sickness.
I am quite afraid the voices will soon disappear, and I will be left with only the screams.
