It's growing,
thrashing at my insides.
Threatening me.
Telling me to do things.
I dont want to!
Stop talking to me!
Leave me alone!
I just want to be alone.
I want to be me.
Before all these voices started talking.
Before silence was unknown.
Before all these words.
I have never heard such thoughts before.
Where did they come from?
I want to be okay.
What makes me think I'm not okay?
It's the voices.
They're telling me.
"You're not okay,"
"They're going to lock you away."
The voices are making me crazy.
But if I hear voices,
Aren't I already crazy?
I'm so confused.
I'm not sure my right from left.
Which way should I go?
Which way will get me home?
Where is home?
Do I live in an apartment,
or a mansion,
or do I live in a trailer?
Do I have a home?
Do I have a refregarator for a place to sleep?
It's growing.
Thrashing at my insides.
Telling me to do things,
I'm growing weaker.
Thrashing at my friends.
Telling them I'm going to do things...
Telling them I'm going to...
Telling them I'm...
Dead.
This one means a lot to me... whadda you think?

this is a great write.. (i may be a big ass suckup but everything i say is true) the title really reflects on the poem.. which is a good thing because some people write poems that have nothing to do with the titles which throws me off... any ways keep trucking..

shweet
me gusta..
i really love the ending, where you dont finish you're sentences.
those are some of the best endings.

this writing, i sooooo can relate to i would tell you the parts but i would write most of it, well there you go your answer. don't give into these voices. your not the only one out there that heres voices. i hear voices. it get so frustrating. i know, it does me. its like i ask myself why is this happening to me? the writing here is very good on expressing the emotion for the confusion the voices can and do cause. excellent job

I Love it!! =]

its really climax like. like you start in one part of the poem and the action just keeps going until it's over.
-
Your poem flows like thoughts. It gives a sense of....rising. It just builds up and up until it overflows.

it... was... great!!!
i liked the poem, and i really know the feeling described in it. for a short time my lil bro was diagnosed with skitsophrenia... (or however you spell it) and he felt very similar things!
i had only one problem with it, it was kinda repetitive... but hey, then again you could always sell it as a song to the most repetitive band on earth Fall Out Boy!!!

Now this is a peice of work that can be safely be called a rarity. You convey your confusion in a way that draws the reader in and makes them feel it for themselves. There's an atmosphere of desperation in this poem and I absolutely love it! The poem builds and builds then has that perfect ending. Very good write, I loved it!

wow
you managed to take a saying that usually implies "youre crazy" and twist it into a top rate poem. good job.
-
