Voices

by Charles Mathew Tyner III - Scorpio

It's dark where I am...
Deep, looming, never-ending darkness.

I hear something...
I hear someone...
Telling me that there's no hope for me.

I hear more voices...
Screaming in torment, agony, wanting relief from their burdens...
But finding none.

If they have no relief, neither shall I.

They just keep getting closer...
The waling gets louder and more terrifying...
Until I scream..."LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"

All is quiet...
For now...

But the voices will return again...
I'm sure of it.

Reason for writing:

    The temptations that steadily grow as I continue to try to live right.
