A Thousand Voices

A thousand voices, they're all screaming my name
A thousand voices and they all sound the same
They tell me I'm not good enough for this place-
"You're stupid! You're lazy! What's wrong with your face?"
They say that I'm worthless, they say I am dumb
They say that truth hurts, but I'm becoming numb
They scream when I'm sleeping, they scream when I wake
I really don't know how much more I can take...
How much longer must I hold on to today-
Is it really worth living a life lived this way?
I've thought it over-the answer is a resounding NO
No one will miss me-I may as well just let go
The voices concur-they cheer my decision
And the tears of relief start blurring my vision
I'll no longer be forced to live with this pain
I'll be rid of these voices that drive me insane
You must understand why I'm choosing to leave
You must understand-it's my only reprieve
I crave this release with all of my heart
And so now this world and I must part
As I lay here, alone, my life fading away
There is one last thing that I'd like to say
Please don't be angry, please don't get upset
Please try to forgive me, and please don't forget
That I truly loved you with all of my heart
And I shall honestly miss you when we are apart
You were my only light as I drowned in the dark
But I could not sustain myself on one little spark
So I must leave you with only this last goodbye
As my last breath I breathe; one-final-sigh...
