Voices In My Head

There are voices in my head.

There are uninvited guests in my mind.

There are strangers in my attic.

There are intruders in my thoughts.

There's Fear the Ghost,

Haunting away my sleep at night.

There's Hope and Despair, the inseparable twins,

Bouncing up and down on the see-saw of my life.

(unaware of the havoc they wreak!)

There's Love, the biggest idiot of the lot,

Blissfully unaware of the extent of its stupidity.

And then there's Joy, the new-born,

Beautiful and fragile.

There are uninvited guests in my mind.

How I wish i could throw them out!

There are voices in my head.

How I wish I could shut them up!
