Little Voice
The little voice said
"Why are you so sad?"
And so I replied
"I don't want to die."

The little voice looked at me
"You're gonna die?"
I give them a sad smile
"Already have, mentally."

I can see the little voice trying to comprehend
"I'm sorry."
They end up saying, and continue
"I wish you could play with me."

My heart hurts
Deep inside
To see the little voice doing
All the things
I used to love

"Me too."
I tell them, and they speak once more
"I promise you will again."

Then, the little voice disappears
And I am left
With the ones I have now

Though all of them do not like me
Like the little voice
My inner child
For it is the only one
Who
Truly cares
Dreams
And Hopes

For a better future
Than the one I am expecting now
