I know of affirmations
that I should recite,
and even words I find absurd
incite me in the night.
My subconscious,
reprimanding,
living in the
flesh, demanding,
judge and jury
notwithstanding...

voices echo in my mind.


Silences that should be kept
Stifled tears that should be wept
volcano grows
beneath the rug
where my memories were swept...

voices mocking in my mind.


Bridges leading anywhere
Taxi cabs are at my door
The roads curve long
in sweet "come on"
my soul in ache to taste of more...

voices beckon in my mind.

A haunting verse, some wonderful images. repost or not, a great poem  

"difference between love and comfortis that comfort's more reliable and true
Brutal and mocking but always therea crutch for enmity's saddest glare"

I loved the flow to this one. Well done on it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

"My subconscious,

Not bad!   I like the feel of these lines, the rhythm you've established makes for good reading

It's nice to share - kiss someone when you have a cold.
