Depression and Voices
One pill twice a day the voices are still
Depression And Voices In My Head
Whispering voices in my head
they press down
never stop
I try to talk
words stick like mud
Walls closing in
I feel smaller
the sky is far
it is not mine
I move through the day
smiling feels fake
every step is heavy
like water dragging me down
I reach for something
anything
it slips
laughter feels false
Night comes
voices grow louder
they tell me I am nothing
that nothing will change
I am alone
I lie awake
listening
counting shadows
fearing feelings
Sleep comes slow
voices stay
dreams twist
show only me
all I am not
Morning comes
gray and empty
I rise
like a ghost
moving through a world
that feels far away
Voices wait
patient
certain
chains I cannot break
The Doctor gives me a pill
suddenly the voices are still.

Excellent work
This is a great poem that describes Depression and maybe even Schizophrenia or maybe even schizoaffective disorder. One needs only to listen to one to understand what is going on with whomever.
The voices never seem to stop sometimes. Great description of what it's like to fight that battle inside every day.
The ending, with the pill finally bringing quiet carries so much weight. Great work.
Excellent of a mental issue. This is calming and smooth to the soul.
