Whispers

Open your eyes

You're stuck inside your head

It's screaming at you

Saying you'd be better dead

Telling you there's no point in trying

That you should kill yourself instead.

Staring at the lack of light

Inside your mind steals all delight

Away from you, leaves no insight

Into the thing that is your plight;

The monster that says that it's alright

To go and take away your life.

Open your eyes.

You've been stuck inside your head

It was lying to you.

It said you'd be better dead.

Told you there's no reason to try

Said to kill yourself instead.

But the reason to try,

Is something you will find,

Happiness awaits,

But first you must leave your mind
