i got one lot of voices
mostly in my head
telling me that all the other voices,
are not real
they taunt me
with sugared lies, candied sighs
and cast aspersions
on ones ability to feel
>>>
i got one lot of whispers
some of them land in my ears
casually suggesting
...casual suggestions
freely flinging
flaccid fallacy
fat free fad news and views
misguided ambiguous directions
>>>
i got one lot of darkness
somewhere deep inside of me
a dirty stagnant pool
of old mutated half thoughts
speaking of a madness arrested
speaking of a sadness attested
the stuff of silly stale wishes
a wind or a breeze of sorts
>>>
