no one cares

this
is what
the voice keeps whispering
deep
in the bowels
of my mind

the acid
a lurching
sea of agony
in my guts

you deserve this

i want
to fight back
scream
tell it to shut
it’s
inane fucking chanting
pummel it
into
submission
just as it
has
done to me

but
it is right

no one cares
maybe
just maybe
i do
deserve this
