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.
