There’s something I don’t want you to find,
A man who hides & lives inside me,
He has no eyes so can not see.

He whispers things into my ear,
That frighten me & fill me with fear,
He says that I must attack & lash out,
If my minds hold any glimpse of a doubt.

So I listen to him every time,
As he speaks to me in an incoherent rhyme,
No-one else can hear his warnings,
But I do with each new day dawning.

Mind feels polluted & strange,
As my thoughts become more deranged,
I feel the whole world is plotting some scheme,
That will destroy me & steal my dream.

I even doubt the words of my lover,
I question the love of my Father & Mother,
Feel like I’m the only one on this side of the fence,
In my life & my mind nothing makes any sense.

The man in my head he just won’t stop,
Until my sanity is about ready to pop,
I beg him to not utter a single word,
But my torment continues, I don’t think he heard.

In the corner of my tormented mind,
There’s something I don’t want you to find,
A man who hides & lives inside me,

I really enjoyed this ! The rhyme scheme was great ! This poem reminds me of a girl I met when I was at rehab. She eventually had to go to S.A.S.H ( San Antonio State Hospital ) She would always tell me about some little jewish boy that would talk to her and had red eyes. i found it interesting because she seemed so sincere yet it was freaky too. I don't know why she choice to always tell me about it. Anywayz.... keep up the good writes.

Oh those danged voices , loud and true ... hear them meself, I swear I do. Just in case ya have any doubt ... Look up "Voices" check it out.

I can attest to the voices. Some of the strangest writes come from them. This is a very write. Ya gotta let 'em out every so often or they go insane and will take you with them.
It's too short a trip for me to risk it ... I let them all talk ... as often as I can. ( LOL )
