They, the Voices

And then I heard
The voices
Calling to me
Tormenting me
I wished to return to
Silence
Silence like it used to be
Silence where I could
Hear myself
Be myself
Be at peace
Constant
So, so constant
Attacking me
Condemning me
Shut up
For God's sake shut up
They
They listen in on me
On my feelings
They
They know everything I do
All about me
They
They know
Everything
Every thing I do
All about me
They
Damn you go away
I am no longer safe
I can no longer keep
My privacy intact
They
They invade my mind
Pervade my being
And it never stops
Even when the voices
Go silent
They
They are still there
Watching
Listening
Being
Slowly
Killing me
