A Million Voices

A million voices
Flood my head
Their vile words
Echoing

A million voices
Condemn my actions
Telling me
I’m not enough

A million voices
Repeat their words
Their words which
Cut so deep

A million voices
But a few stand out
As people whom
I know and love

A million voices
Mimic my loved ones
Speaking things
They’d never say

A million voices
I know they’re not real
But on days like
Today
It’s hard to believe
When a million voices
Are torturing me
