Voices
I hear voices. But to who do they belong to?
Sad. Happy. Afraid. Screaming for help. It's happening all over again.
I hear voices. But not the ones I long to hear. Brother, you have left, but when will you return? Mother, I want to hear you. Your musical voice, that I once slept to.
I hear voices. He yells and screams in pain, yet they will not stop. The pain, the sadness... the fear. They have broken him beyond repair.
I hear voices, She is trying, struggling. There is nothing I can do. She is precious, but they are already to far to stop. They silence her. I hear voices. But not the ones I want to hear.
