They Speak The Truth Poem by Minx Videsben

It seems to haunt me,
the voices

They only ever say cruel things,
nothing good ever came from them

But they are right
All the things they say

I hear it everyday and everyday I know it's true

'Nobody likes you'
'Nobody wants you'
'Nobody needs you'
'Nobody even knows you're there'

And they're right
I know they are

I look around, and all I see is strangers
People who would drop me like trash

They don't care,
they never did and they never will

'Do it', they say
'It's just a knife'
'It's just a rope'
'It's just your life'

'But then again... What life? '
