Obstreperous Thoughts

Inside my head,  
voices fight for dominance,  
obstreperous thoughts clashing,  
each demanding attention,  
a symphony of dissonance,  
a cacophony of self-doubt and dreams  
I cannot silence them—  
they scream louder than my own will.  
I try to block them out  
but they break through like waves,  
uninvited and wild,  
pushing and pulling  
until I am caught  
between who I am  
and who they say I should be.
