My Fault

I have two choices-

Negligence and recklessness. 

I am even more dangerous in my sleep.

When my powers cascade. 

What kind of disasters happened?

When I was sleeping selfishly?

They don’t know how to tell me it’s my fault…

But I can read their thoughts.

Which are usually ramblings that I can ignore.

But sometimes they are all thinking the same thing.

And I become caught in a kaleidoscope of voices.

Negligent or reckless?

I don’t even remember the crime. 

But I do feel better now that midnight has passed.

Because this time I am locked up-

So that the world can be safe from me.
