The Voices Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJ KLMNO APQGRS ATUVWXY| Whilst walking down the dark alley | A |
| with a pierced heart and a broken crossbow | B |
| I am a predator dangles like earrings | C |
| in my timid heart as my legs | D |
| tremble to the thuds of falling leaves | E |
| - | |
| Am I a prey | F |
| to the voices growling in my head | G |
| or I am just a feebleminded predator | H |
| whose courage was broken | I |
| whose hope was punctured and razed | J |
| - | |
| If my next step becomes the last | K |
| and my feet become frightened to kiss the soil | L |
| if I fail to find myself | M |
| in the breezy breeze of tomorrow dusk | N |
| squirt my forehead with spits of jeer | O |
| - | |
| I'll walk down the dark alley | A |
| with a blank heart and a faceless mask | P |
| if tomorrow comes and I am out of sight | Q |
| give the crown to the voices lurking in my head | G |
| for they have buried my soul | R |
| in the thwarted under ground | S |
| - | |
| I will keep walking down this dark alley | A |
| towards the sunlight piercing the gloom | T |
| with my pierced heart still beating | U |
| if you see me give the crown | V |
| to my beating heart | W |
| for my soul hears a new song | X |
| a new song of life and refreshment | Y |
