Thoughts In My Head Poem by Cati Walthall

Thoughts In My Head



The voices is my head fight a lot
One says yes
One says no
Sometimes I can't tell which one is right
and which one is wrong
One says I have no reason to live
The other tells me that's not true
He gives me a list
Of everything good I do
Then the other one answers back
'Look at what you've done
You've made a mess
There's no reason to go on'
The other replies
'NO! Don't listen to him'
but everything that guy says
Everything that guy makes me feel
It all seems so legit
How could I not be fooled?
One tells me good job
The other tells me it's not good enough
He tells me I'm not good enough for anyone
Not even myself
He yells in my ear
'YOU FAILURE'
While the other one is no longer heard
The other one must of given up on me
Just like most people have done
Now I'm shaking
My anxiety rising
As the minutes go by
Please help me
Please please please
I don't know how longer it'll take
For one more word from that voice
to push me over the edge
