Voices Inside My Head

These voices,

They don’t halt

They don’t sleep

They never stop.

They accompany me

At every turn,

At every road.

At every corner

Their shadow lurks.

I wish to hide,

And run away

Have visited many shrines,

In many temples, I prayed.

Tried meditating,

Yet they stayed.

They detest music,

Feel betrayed,

But then later,

Disguise and obey.

After a while

Get used to it, anyway.

They hate colours

And just love the grey.

Solitude is what feeds them

Isolation is a prey.

These voices,

Reside in my head.

They never leave,

Day and night, they stay.
