Those ghosts in my head

 


Those ghosts in my head

spring forth words that I dread.

Forcefully feeding back lines

that I never have said.

Telling me my thoughts.

but distorting their truth,

they gather my nerves

and sever the roots.

 

I can't help but listen.

The words ring just as loudly

as snow glistens

under beaming lighting.

It can be frightening,

when they shout nightly,

fierce as lightning

through my clouded thoughts,

surprising me.

inciting my body  

to have the urge to flee.

 

My ghosts, I can't see,

but they are always

around audibly.

In a dark mystic book

they are writing my story,

before I've even lived the days

they're etching out for me.

Their auditory moans

sing internally,

I groan at the sound

as it tears me apart

like I’m a piece of meat.

 

I keep my ghosts contained

in a chained box, deep in my brain,

but their sounds attain sentience

and walk right on through

the empty corridors of my head.

I'm sentenced to rewrite

the lines they say,

every night and every day.

Whilst in my bed I lay,

they scream and shout,

ruining the ambience, causing doubt.

Destroying any sentiments

of sleep I once had.

Sleep has run away,

scared.

Into the moonlight

it fled. So now it's just me

and the noise in my head.
