I am hearing voices – voices of the enemy.  Lies. Lies. And, more lies.

At the same time, I hear the Truth.

Voice:  You are stupid.  You are stupid.  You are stupid.

At the same time, I hear the Truth.

Voice (comes back):  Everyone does not have time for you.  They find it a waste of their time to help you.  They have better things to do than help you.  You are alone.

At the same time, I hear the Truth.

Voice (comes back again):  Give up now.  Take your life. . . Hope is dead.

At that moment, I chose and said:  No!

I stopped entertaining the lies and I cranked up the volume to hear the voice of the Truth.
