That Voice Again
written by the Vulpecula

Somewhere deep inside of me there's a voice. I hate that voice more than anything.

It knows all my secrets and all my weaknesses. It knows about her. It knows everything, and it uses it all against me.

You're a failure, it likes to say.

You're worthless, it likes to say.

Everyone hates you, it likes to say.

Everyone? a small, better part of me asks feebly. My demon knows where that thought leads.

You make her sick, the voice hisses. She despises you. She'll never love you.

One blow after another. The sad part is that the whole time, she's the only one I see. My demon knows the pain it inflicts. Because it knows everything, doesn't it?

If there's one thing I know, it's that it'll be the end of me.
