The Voice in Italics

Why such a conflict?

Why always a second-guessing?

Regretting

Misunderstanding

Why can’t you be in control of your thoughts?

Is this how it is for everyone?

An endless argument

 

To hate one’s self

Implies an inherent duplicity

The wrong voice always has the better pitch

Or maybe there is no choice at all

Maybe life is simply continuing, unquestioned

Locked into its limitless tracks

Astounding you with what you already know

 

This is what screams at you as you wait in lines

It seeps through in little gestures

Unconscious

Deliberate

Your other voice is a saboteur

Purposed to help you destroy yourself

For the next life belongs to it

And you (you) will be in the background

 

Don’t

Listen
