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. PLACED FIFTH IN THE CONTEST 13th January, 2019 Plucking the Poisonous Parrot Contest Sponsor Maureen McGreavy
