They speak of things
with sound less voice
things to hear
without an ear
driven by desires
not my own
unaware
they're in my home
Often it seems
they know me not
when they talk of me
as if I am not
and so I sit,
being ignored
listening intently
to the voices in my head.

The brain is such a computer collector of thought that you never know what's going to be rolling around in your head.
You wrote this very well.

Those voices. I know them well. They are, even after all these years, are still in my head.

Sometimes I wish those voices would just stay in my head and behave themselves. Interesting write.
