I intended to send this in for Lewis Raynes contest, but forgot to send it 0.o

So here it is, just because I like it, contest or not.

Welcome to the circus To the prison To the crowded beach on a hot summer day To the thousands in a stadium or a concert. To the cacophony of voices In my head It is hard to navigate Deduction is needed to find the truth The one voice The reality of the moment Music Silences The crowd In my head Sleep Wakes Them Good morning, welcome to my circus. Have a seat and enjoy yourselves!

Our heads can be the most noisy place on earth! This is really well said, and so true, hun :)

Isn't it, when it's silent it can be the most noisy place on earth.... deafening.

You have conveyed what really is difficult to convey! The only thing I like about crowded beaches is the 'White Pointers'. A very relatable piece, Darren! 7

I believe we all have voices in our heads, some choose to listen to a few, some choose to listen to them all and some choose not to listen period. I think we should listen at times because you never know what they might say. Obviously this wonderful and creative poem came from in there somewhere...right?

Someone wrote this, I have no idea who, but my name is under the poem. soooo *scratches head in amazement*. Yes, it can be paralyzing at times, and it can be so noisy that it blocks communication with outside world :)

Very creatively done, Darren - it is a shame this write missed the contest, but it still has a life and mission all on its own. You captured the life rolling and thundering and pulsing in your head so well. CayCay

Thanks CayCay. Yes, total ocean of annoyingly contradictory voices there.
