Voices, Part I
April 5, 2010
I.
Quiet.
Seductive.
These voices whisper to me.
Angry.
Hurtful.
No, you're not real...
Get out of my head!
Drown them out...
Blare my music.
They get louder;
They're screaming in my ears!
Shut up!
Leave me alone!
Someone...
Please...
Make them stop...
II.
My arm...
It's on fire from the razor.
It feels good...
NO!
SHUT UP!!
I've got to stop this...
Make it end...
GET OUT OF MY F***ING HEAD!!
One more cut...
No...
Ahh...
(fade to black)
