(Still Writing)

A voice echoes from the darkness
Demands I tell its story
And so I write it down

Another then speaks up to join it
And is joined by yet another
I start to get confused

So many voices echo in my head
I think I've lost my own
(Just keep writing)

The story takes on its own life
Twists and turns and doubles back
And still the voices nag me

At first I try to ignore them
Surely they will go away
And find another tool

So many voices echo in my head
Why won't they leave me alone?
(Must keep writing)

Finally, I start to see the pattern
I think I've caught the rhythm
I'm writing once again

And now, they seem to speak as one voice
They're drawing me a picture
And telling me their tale

So many voices echo in my head
I'm searching for my own
(Still writing)

Still...
