Voices
by: Aimee

Silence rolls through my ears,
Leaving me with the voices that flow inside.
It seems no matter where I go,
From them I cannot hide.

I try not to listen to them,
To block them out, shut up! i scream.
I wish someone would awaken me,
From this awful dream.

My family must never learn,
Of all the pain which grows.
How long this torture test will last,
I don't think anyone knows.
