A Million Voices

A million voices
Flood my head
Their vile words
Echoing

A million voices
Condemn my actions
Telling me
I’m not enough

A million voices
Repeat their words
Their words which
Cut so deep

A million voices
But a few stand out
As people whom
I know and love

A million voices
Mimic my loved ones
Speaking things
They’d never say

A million voices
I know they’re not real
But on days like
Today
It’s hard to believe
When a million voices
Are torturing me

    Maybe Someday

    Ya know

    Sometimes I don’t think

    That things will ever get better

    Sometimes I don’t see

    How they really could

    But I’m not always like that

    Sometimes I think

    “Maybe someday”

    “Maybe it will improve”

    Worry

    Hello

    My name is Jaden

    I am fifteen

    And this is a poem

    About me

    About how I feel

    Being a teenager

    In 2025

     

    Distance

    Rain

    Endless nights

    With no end in sight
