Analysis of Inner voices



inner voices
in my
head
strangling my
peace
 I pretend
not to hear
letting them
fight with
my sanity
but was i
ever sane
in this
chaos
I'm smiling
yet struggling
i don't
want to face
them
i can't!
i reek too much
of this putrefaction
i am guilty
so play
me the song
of grief
I'll dance to
it in perfect sync
