two minds within
Two minds within
When in my mind you did arrive
i was only four years old
I was at kinder eating cupcakes
And in a voice so bold
“Quick eat the spare one”
By you I was told
I looked around and couldn’t see
Where the voice had come from
But again you prompted me
But alas a person you could not be
You said your name was Michael
I thought you an imaginary friend
But in my little mind
bad voices you would send
you were with me through my childhood
and in my teenage and adult years
you would chatter in mind
and feed upon my fears
I don’t know where you come from
But you are not nice to me
In my mind sometimes you talk
But you I do not see
Sometimes you tell me to hurt myself
And it would cause me so much pain
I don’t understand it
As I don’t know what pleasure you do gain
I have been in and out of psychiatric hospitals
With a team full of dedication
And to help alleviate you Michael
I am on anti psychotic medication
Sometimes you do come and visit my mind
In the quiet of the dawn
But I do try and ignore you
So you do not stir up a storm
I do try and stop your presence
In my fragile mind
But I do hold on to hope
That one day you would be kind
I do try and fight you
So I don’t commit a mortal sin
But sometimes I do wonder in fact
Why I have two minds within
