she hears them twirling in her head chattering as if she’s not there unkind and harsh jibberish the bitter voices in her head like vultures preying and pecking vile and morose they never stop no clue where they come from those dark ugly voices in her head AP: 2nd place 2021 Submitted on December 4, 2018 for contest VOICES sponsored by SILENT ONE - RANKED 2ND

Oh, those voices! Oh to shush them and keep them down. But in their Freudian frenzy, they can only be repressed for so long. Where DO they come from? … Powerful write, Line. A well-deserved winner in the contest! Best wishes, Gershon

My sister was saying "so and so hears voices," and I said, "I hear voices," and she rolled her eyes and kept talking. My cousin laughed. There are voices there, and it is up to us to listen. You have sagely explained it to those who have shut their minds and do not hear. Good for you, Line.

It would be so nice to choose only the voices we want to hear. Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Caren.

This poem is really powerful, Line. It appears Silent One chose an exceptional topic for the poems I've read for his contest are awesome, including yours! It can be difficult to tune out the voices when they come to you in the manner you described so well. Winning wishes for you! Hugs, Carolyn

You hit the nail on the head with this one, Line! Someone should invent a way to switch mental frequencies as mental "eavesdropping" on other conversations can be quite draining! Well done! Aloha! Rico
