“Sometimes the loudest war isn’t outside.
It’s in your own mind.”
The Story
Some days, the world will not stop speaking.
But it is not the words around you it is the voices within.
The ones that echo every doubt.
Replay every failure.
Question every choice.
You cover your ears, but they seep through your skin.
They rattle in your chest.
They become a storm that no one else can see but you live in it.
The Voices Haunt Me was created from one of those storms.
It is a portrait of what it feels like when your own mind turns against you and the quiet, unseen strength it takes to stand in that noise and not break.
Why This Piece Exists
When I drew this, I was not trying to make a “beautiful” piece.
I was trying to survive the noise.
This drawing held what I could not say out loud:
That sometimes, the hardest battle is keeping your inner space sacred when everyone everything is trying to fill it with their voices.
If this piece speaks to you let it remind you:
You are not broken for hearing those voices.
You are powerful for continuing to seek peace despite them.
Artist’s Note
“You don’t have to silence the world.
You only have to protect the space where your own voice still whispers.”
