Go Inside
Go inside.
I do, I always do. I’m tired so I need to go home.
Go inside.
That’s what they always say.
Even when I’ve been home for hours.
Sometimes, I’m standing in front of the clock on the microwave in a trance.
Go inside.
I forget where I am sometimes.
I get confused sometimes.
The voices keep me focused.
When I’m inside they want me to go inside.
Even after I locked the door and locked the house down.
I think I was running from someone.
I locked the door, so it’s ok, I can sleep now.
Go inside…
I went inside.
I stayed inside.
