WHISPERS

I HEAR THEM WITH THEIR WORDS

THEY ARE NEVER VERY NICE,

TELLING ME I'M ULGY, STUPID, AND

THAT I DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE.

WOULD THEY BE SORRY IF I DID 

IF I ENDED MY LIFE? 

TAKE A KNIFE AND SLICE MY WRISTS OR

WOULD A GUN BE BETTER?

FAST AND QUICK.

I THINK SOMETIMES WHAT LIFE WOULD BE

WITHOUT ME IN IT.

WOULD MY PARENTS BE HAPPIER? 

WOULD THEY MISS ME? 

THEY DON'T SEEM TO NOTICE ME WHEN 

I'M AT HOME OR DO A GOOD JOB.

WOULD THE KIDS AT SCHOOL NOTICE ME GONE? 

MAYBE IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD

AND I'M IMAGINING THE WORDS BEING SAID

THE KIDS WHO WALK DOWN THE HALL ARE 

NOT REALLY THERE. 

MAYBE I JUST MADE THEM UP AND THEY ARE 

JUST WHISPERS IN MY HEAD?

OR COULD THEY ACTUALLY BE REAL?

I WISH I KNEW BECAUSE EACH DAY

I WANT TO DIE.

I WANT TO DO WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME TO DO

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP THEM FROM TALKING

BUT I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL

I WALK DOWN THE HALL AT SCHOOL

AND LISTEN TO EVERYONE WHO WALKS BY ME

TO KNOW IF THEY ARE REAL

OR JUST

WHISPERS IN MY HEAD...
