Unknown voices

As the day fades
I walk deeper into the woods
I want to stay away
But something compels me to go on

Unknown voices fill my mind
They conquer my thoughts
And rule my heart
I want to say no
But I still continue to go

Lost in the darkness
I stumble across the path
I dread my next step
As the future I cannot see
But the voices keep me focused
They tell me where to be

I continue in blind faith
Believing in what I can only hear
I want to break free
I want me to explore
Instead on being what the voices want me to be

I have tried to escape
I have tired to hide
But they always seem to be following
Ruling my mind guiding my soul
I want them to let go
But they never will, I know…
