Three voices (E128)

I wake up in a storm of thoughts, they scream out loud but explain me naught. My mind takes off, just wants to run, my body says, “stay here, I’m done.” And I stand in the eye of it all, like I don’t know which voice to call. One says “run,” another “stay,” and I’m stuck where I’ve always lain. It burns inside, it tears apart, like I’m not even in my heart… Three voices in me fight tonight, one wants freedom, one holds tight. One whispers softly, “just give up,” but I scream back loud: I won’t stop! Three voices in me, still I remain, even while I break in the pain. I am chaos, fire, and fight still I breathe, I take my time. My body’s stone, my soul’s the wind, they crash together deep within. I try to mend what cracks and breaks, but every thought just bends and shakes. And the world keeps spinning, won’t slow down, like hope is something I never found. But deep inside my chest I hear, a pulse that says, “you’re still here.” It burns in me, but I hold on, even when I feel so gone… Three voices in me fight tonight, one wants freedom, one holds tight. One whispers softly, “just give up,” but I scream back loud: I won’t stop! Three voices in me, still I remain, even while I break in the pain. I am chaos, fire, and fight still I breathe, I take my time. Maybe I am all these three, maybe I just need to see… that breaking isn’t the end of me, but the start of being free. Three voices in me, but I shout out loud! None control me, I stand proud! I fell, I burned, but now I stand, and I finally know who I am! Three voices in me, they turn to one, a force that beats like a loaded gun. I am the storm, the calm, the tide and I live, I breathe, I take my stride. Three voices… but one soul inside…
