    THREE LONG YEARS


    It has been three years
    Since I first heard
    The voices that changed
    My life and my world.

    Nothing was quite the
    Same since that day.
    Year one I was a
    Total wreck. I was

    What the voices told
    Me to be. Year
    Two I started to
    Fight the voices for

    Control of who I
    Was. Year three I
    Took a step backward.
    I gave the voices

    Everything. This year
    I hope to find
    The old me, the sane
    Me, somewhere inside.

    I will take any
    Treatment they say
    That could work. I won't
    Cheek my pills. I won't

    Stay off course. I need
    To destroy the
    Voices that seem to
    Like my head more than

    Most other heads. I
    Will not be their
    Antennae. I won't
    Be their speaker. It

    Has been three long
    Years since I was
    Someone with dreams and
    Ideas. Year four

    I'm counting on you.
    Don't let me down.
    I'm tired of being
    Another lost soul.
