Voices In My Head

I am getting fed up of the voices in my head
They can be there from morning until bed
Menacing, angry, demanding what I do
I wish I knew how to get rid, but I haven’t got a clue

One minute I can be ‘normal’ but then the voices start creeping in
I wish they were like garbage where I could throw them in the bin
They seem to like taking over my life
Causing me worry, anxiety, anger and strife

I thought I was getting better, getting rid of all this stuff
But it’s persisting, there more often, I’ve really had enough
I’ve tried my distraction techniques but it’s not going away
It feels like a tape recorder which is constantly on play

I have great support from my family and my friends
I want to stop causing them worry and really make amends
My support workers are brilliant, there when I need to chat
I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have all of that

I guess it’s down to me though if I really want to get well
I need to start being honest and try coming out of my shell
Nobody will make you better if you do not help yourself
You will just stay in the rut like a bad apple left on a shelf

So no matter how hard all this is going to be
You have to make the effort if you really want to be free
Take on advice, try harder, listen to what others have to say
You can then come through this and live another day
