Title: Untie Me Now
By: William Bradley
Date: 1-16-03
I hate the voices that talk in my head.
You bastards, why don’t you just leave me alone.
Wait a minute, did that man just say “he hates the voices that talk in his head?”
So I said aloud, LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.
What have I done to you?
Why do you continue to play these childish games with me?
Just be upfront and let me know the deal, what do you want?
You take away what is rightfully mine,
When will you get out of my mind.
I know you’re not real, just a fabrication of my insecurity.
See I figured you all out.
It took me 7 years and finally I believe my dads words.
But on this day, today I am acknowledging the truth.
It is the demons in my head that are telling me what I can and cannot do.
That is it, that is all there is.
They are playing mental ping pong with my brain.
Every wack with the paddle I become even more confused.
You have over stayed your welcome, and now I am evicting you.
Pack ya bags and tie your shoes because no longer will I have the blues.
You have brought so much pain and torture in my life.
Whenever I have a good opportunity to take advantage of
You pop up and throw a wrench into plan.
But no more because now I am the man.
20 years of complete trouble.
Not once have you helped me at all.
You have been the cause of me getting called names, you lowered my self esteem.
You made me go into my room and cry myself to sleep.
I don’t now who gave you a key, but you better believe that I am changing the locks.
This time I have the master key and vow never to make a copy.
I hereby William Bradley denounce the demons that talk to me.
Ok, go ahead and laugh and make jokes.
Don’t worry I have heard them all.
Continuing on with my plea of release.
I see you around the corner creeping on up to the front of the line.
No matter how long I continue to see you or traces of you
I will no longer allow myself to fall victim to your devilish acts. UNTIE me now.
Commentary: For those of you who are now officially convinced that I am crazy....lol....I am not We all have fears and things that we don't really like Many times we talk our self into situations that only makes our life harder It works both ways, you can also talk yourself into situations that will benefit you
