I Alone

I
Such a lovely word
That not many appreciate 
To be alone.
To be free.

Shut up, you stupid bitch!
You're worthless! 

They have gotten stronger
The voices that used to whisper
They now scream in my mind
They've sunken deeper into my bones
It made me who I am today

Here I sit lost, broken.
It's been so long 
since I've been truly happy
My wrists
Crisscrossed with scars

The voices have robbed me of my dignity
My pride, my joy...
Every day they tell me
To off myself 
And be done with it all

My neck is sore 
from the tugging of my shoulders
I can no longer hold my head high
I'm so tired...
Why would I stay?

We are your only friends!
Don't leave us! Stay...

I
Such a lonely word
So I stay
To be with my friends
The voices
