Help me cover my ears
From the voices inside
“You will never matter”, they say
Like they know everyone else’s thoughts
“You are not normal”, they shout
As if they can read the crowd’s mind
Not one, two or three years, I’ve heard their voices
But for six winters, six summers, they’ve been there
Giving me my every thought
I want to break free, free from them
But what will then happen?
They’re a part of who I’ve become
No one but me can heal these wounds
And in a strange way, that gives me comfort
Comfort to know that I’ll be even stronger
And if I learn to love myself for whom I am,
And not for whom I could be
I could love the world so much more
I’ve for a long time been taken the easy way out
But now I want more
I want to feel whole
In every single way
Fight for every believe that we are all unique
And good in our own ways

Wow deep indeed, i could feel it came from the heart, but you know what you could've done? given it some soul and rhyming with some of your words, but hey! that's good, you should do some more of these! Kudo's!

Thank you
Thanks for the tip! I'm very changeable when it comes to writing, sometimes I feel like rhyming, sometimes not, and sometimes I rhyme with some of the words
But I think you're right, maybe I should have rhymed
I'm new with posting poems so right now I'm just writing from my heart, and later on I'm going to try to make them better by see How I should write them

Also, anxieties is something I understand as I suffer from depression and panic attacks. If you like there is a poem on my page, Not today. Please not today. I am sure you will relate to it, like I did yours

Very strange. Is this a personal piece? Because if it is... ... I hope that it doesn't affect your everyday life. I have to say I really liked this line:
"But for six winters, six summers, they’ve been there"
I liked how you used winters and summers instead of years. That made it more... real I suppose. Great job.

Thanks!
Thank you Yes it's a personal piece. It do affect my daily life, but for the first time I see it as what it is. I'm fighting for a life without these thoughts now. It really means a lot that that you liked it, as this piece means a lot to me
