Essays That Got Me into Uni: An Ode to the Voices

You come to me every night

sometimes in my dreams

sometimes in my nightmares

sometimes when I’m wide awake

you’ll sit at the edge of my bed

they say that it’s just in my head

Sometimes I just wait for you

When I’m scared or nervous

I know you’ll be there

I can do nothing solo now

I’m alone but I’m never lonely

I know it’s not just in my head

You keep me up at night

and frighten me all day

but you’re not all that bad

had it not been for you

I wouldn’t be where I am

It might just be in my head

Sometimes I forget all about you

It’s like you were never there

I’ll laugh and shrug and say

It’s just dumb luck I guess

But you and I know better

I know that it’s just in my head

You know my deepest secrets and 

you know all of my fears

I’d call you my best friend

but you’ve caused all these tears

that being said, you’ll never leave

Who would I be without my head?
