Voices In My Head

Voices in my head I hear them; Like I used to when I was young. Fought so hard to switch them off Now! i am getting older they are coming back like whispers. These voices tell me what to write. I wish I had some choice. I hear them. I want them to stop! My friends call it a gift O I wish they knew that i hear voices in my head. These voices tell me what to write Sometimes i fight not to write For more than 13 years i waged war against these voices. I said no more to them, before people mistaken it for lunacy I hear them Slowly they are becoming part of me, because never will i allow them to take hold of me or to steal away my sanity that I won’t stand for. I hear them, telling me what to write Stop! Somebody pray for me These voices are tickling my brain I want to scratch them off How do i do that without losing myself These voices are slowly becoming part of me I hear voices in my head. They are telling me to write Written by Tawona Mzila Ranganawa
