Shelter Me

Shelter me, for I am lost,

Amid the noise and pain.

The meds work for a little while,

But then they’re back again.

Just a little louder now,

Than they were before.

Back with a purpose,

And always wanting more.

The days just seem to come and go,

These voices cloud my vision.

They’re always there, and haunting me,

A part of every decision.

What will it take for them to go?

How do I make them leave?

They’ve infiltrated all my thoughts,

And changed what I believe.

Just a little louder now,

They come in with such force.

They’re unrelenting in their ways,

With no sense of remorse.

I have to find a way to deal,

With voices every day.

To hear them and to live my life?

There are no words to say.

A world of noise, a world of pain,

It comes with such a cost.

It’s all on me to pay their price,

So shelter me, for I am lost.
