Debjani Mitra Poet Free verse

The Ventriloquist Voice

Thousand thoughts rummage the grey fluff.
Gloomy, godawful voices thump in self-talk
"I'm an idiot, a loser,...... it's all my fault".
Autopsies of the past, tear my flesh,
Regrets of a decade, devour my heart.
Rant of betrayals suffocate my breath.
Capricious sentiments egg me to a wreck.

Loud conch shells stalk me in heavy weight.
I sink in the abyss of "What'll people think?,"

I wish I could not hear what my mind says.
Isn't that echo the shadow of my sound ? 
With a mind of steel, the Ventriloquist vowed,
I'll flash away that swampy dummy puppet..
I'll end the endless sabotage of that parrot..
It's my  journey, .. my  thoughts, ..my dreams.
