Night Thoughts

Night Thoughts

Naked beneath the stars tonight

I sit and write by the firelight

Thinking in my quiet head

How I wish that I were dead

I try so hard each day you see

To pretend I'm as normal as can be

It grows harder with each day

To pretend the pain away

I lie awake on my bed

With criticisms being said

And all the voices that I hear

Make my self-loathing more sever

I try to put them out of sight

But I know that they are right

I am a person who's been broken

I'm as worthless as a token

The voices in my head have spoken
