It starts in my head,
The very back,
Its a numb voice,
Its telling me,
things I don't want to hear,
They must be lies,
I just want it to go away,
It doesn't make sense,
Then it takes over my mind,
Screaming the same lie
Over and over
It won't stop
Its a siren in my head
Make it hush
Someone please
Then it steals my eyes
Making them blind to anyone else
I begin to follow
the lies in blindness
Next my hands do it against my will
The write the words I feel
Is it really against my will?
Can I stop if I wanted to?
They finish writing
and it moves on to my feet
Making them walk
To deliver the words
I unwillingly wrote
They reach there destination
Then the screaming voice
Which is my confusion
Takes control of my heart
It beats too loud
I have the lines of the lie burnt into my beating muscle
The words I wrote reach out and touch the source
The source of all my hurt
I wait
For once everything is silent
Waiting for a reply
Will it end my dying pain?

Hey Fox. :) hope you don't mind me calling you that. Thanks for commenting on my chain poem. it's been up there for a while. You renewed my confidence. This poem reminds me of my Poem HER. it's alonger title but if want to read it just click on my name. I can really feel your emotion and conflict from reading this. It pulled at me a bit. It brought back memories. -Caramel Shades

This seems like it's speaking about words said in haste and anger, though I can't tell if that's what you meant it to be. If that is what it means, I think you did an astounding job in writing it :)
