The Real Me

Cackling voices mocking
Skittering across my perception
Failures of the past
Become truths of the moment
Mistakes repeating
Torments unending
Unbreakable cycle
Unwakeable nightmare
Strength disappearing
Doubts crowding in
Hope fading out
Love falters with each step
Scratch the itch
Submit to the obsession
And give in
To who I know I am
