now that i've committed to drawing something everyday, i've got to be intentional about carving out 15 minutes of my day. decided to draw some of the personalities in my mind. i blended them with an image that hides in the shadows of my mind. waited until inspiration hit to create. so many distractions. so many voices in my head. voices that tell me that i'm not good enough. voices that beat me down for the fucked up things i've done. voices that remind me of iraq. voices that tell me that i'm that nigga. voices that speak from my ego. i'm a gemini so it feels like the voices are doubled. art helps me quiet the voices. voices that tell me that i've got to earn love. voices that tear me down. voices that build me up. voices that tell me not to trust. voices that make me question everything. voices that tell me to hurt myself. voices that say i should jump off an overpass. voices that tell me that i have to be a good boy just to be loved. the voices get too loud sometimes. i barely hear outside voices that tell me everything will be ok. i rarely hear outside voices that tell me they love me. i be wantin to hear comforting voices. voices that tell me that i'm a priority. feels like so many people inside my mind. light in the day. dark in the night. voices that want her to be the love of my life turn into voices that make me want to slut her out. i've constantly have to tell myself that i'm a genius. have to tell myself that relationships shouldn't be that hard but i do things the hard way. always got to motivate myself. the soldier in me keeps me going. always forward but the voices try to keep holding me back.

what do the voices tell you?
