Today the Voices Won

In shadows they creep, they rise and scream,
In chorus, harsh, they permeate my dreams.
They whisper lies that cut me whole,
Telling me I’m worthless, my sleep takes the toll.

Every step I’ve taken is marked as wrong,
Their cruel refrain an unforgiving song.
I stand alone beneath a sky so gray,
Believing all gods have turned their faces away.

Today the voices won.
