These voices in my head, telling me to do things that are not me.
These voices in my head are confusing.
Should I listen to the voices, for some peace and quiet?
When I know they want me to do something bad?
Or should I ignore the voices and slowly go crazy?
They promise to leave me alone if I listen,
but can I trust the voices in my head?
Is this a higher being communicating through me or am I crazy?
I want help, I need help, but who to call?
Maybe I should listen to those voices in my head,
All I really want is a little peace and quiet.
So I pick up the gun, and I go to school as usual.
The people that tease me will pay.

This poem is dedicate to all the victims and perpetrators of high-school and college murders and murder-spree's. With greater understanding of bullying, we can combat this world-wide problem, and ensure more children are raised and schooled in safer environments.
