It starts out as a whisper <br />In an unknown foreign language. <br />It soon becomes normal, <br />A part of everyday life, <br />Not to be understood only endured. <br />Day after day. <br /> <br />Months soon pass and it becomes <br />A monotony. <br />The whisper turns into a shout, <br />becomes louder each day. <br />never ceasing, only growing. <br />Day after day. <br /> <br />I'll smile through the pain, <br />till it becomes unendurable. <br />I'll laugh through it all, <br />till I become incapable. <br />I clasp my hands over my ears <br />Yet sounds still seeps through. <br />Louder than before. <br /> <br />You try and repair the wound you made in me, <br />But only succeed in twisting the knife. <br />Deeper.<br /><br />Thomas Warren<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-voice-in-my-head/
