Voices In My Head

Are you scared?
Will you fall
In the dark
Will you cry
Will you die
Are you dead?
Are you there
In your head?
Is it blank
Is it black
Do you care
If you're there?
Do you want
To rise
To fly
To fall
To the ground
To be buried
Under mounds
Of hope
Crushed
Shattered and tattered
Dreams lie forgotten
Broken
Scattered
Will you lie?
Defy?
Do you dare?
Dare to rise
To rise and shine
To laugh to smile
To feel sublime
To live
Will you give
It your all
Or get stuck
At a point
Fade away
Are you real?
Can you move?
Can you feel?
Free yourself
Break your bonds
Break your chains
Take a chance
Make a change
Move ahead
Get a life
Give your all
Just get up
If you fall
Live for now
Follow the truth
What is true?
I am
Your conscience

Unaccepted

Blinded by light they see not who I am
Its blaze, its dazzle engulfs them all
It shines on them with the force of its lies
But the truth deep inside my darkness resides

I yearn to let the darkness out
Let it seep into the minds of those blind fools
Who believe the concealing, deceiving light
Believing only what they want to believe

I cry, I scream to be understood
To bare myself, my soul, my all
Only to be ignored my the mindless crowd
Not accepted for being what I am

Set in their ways they fear the darkness
Unnerved by its mysterious depths
Frightened, to delve into this enigma
Lest they see the demented truth

Hidden in the darkness seethes my soul
A sadist, hurting others to resolve my own hurt
Unable to break free from this ruthless chain
I lie here, alone, unaccepted.
