    Whispers In My Mind

    Words ~ not voices
    not even sounds ~
    flowing through my mind.
    Flooding my thoughts. Doubt. Fear. Hopes. Wishes.
    Dreams.
    Not words of encouragement.
    More like.........
    Chastising. Scolding.
    Why should I expect anything different?
    What right do I have?
    FOOL!
    I'd grown accustomed to the yelling ~ rather,
    comfortable.
    But, these whispers
    in my mind
    terrify me.

    Whispers in the mind can be a blessing or a curse. Here's hoping that yours, whether real or simply poetic imagery, fall in the former category. Nicely done poem.

    I know the "whispers"--how deceptive and frightening they can be. They just don't seem to go. It helps to ask yourself, "Am I loved? Am I worthy?" And if you can answer yes to these questions than the whispers might go away...if only a while. I enjoyed your poem. It was sobering for me.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
