Voices inside my head contradict what I say
They hurt me from the inside and erode me away
Voices inside my head remind me of the past
They break me into pieces until my bloods been cast

I say that I’m fine, I no longer care
The voices bring back memories, no longer I can bear

I say that the past is gone, the future is now hear
I fear that’s a lie, nothing seems to be clear

I sit in isolation in the corner of my room
I sit in isolation waiting for my doom

Wish someone would save me, take me away
Block away the voices and everything they say
Save me from this misery, save me from this hell
Save me from the voices and everything they tell
Save me from the pain that plagues my every thought
Save me from the voices and the misery they have brought

The author's comments:
I was about to write a normal free verse poem, but then a fellow poet inspired me to try to write song lyrics. Its sung like a country song, or like those song from old western movies or like a campfire song. Can you guys give any feedback for it?

You have a very good rhyming scheme here, and a title that draws the reader in. This is a very expressive poem!
