Hearing Voices Late At Night - Spring of 2015


Hearing Voices Late At Night – Spring of 2015

I remember that night
Back in the Spring of 2015
It was very late
I was outside
On my back porch
Smoking a cigarette
Or maybe a few
I was trying to calm my nerves
I couldn’t sleep
I hadn’t been sleeping well
For the past week
I had been tormented that entire day
By the sadistic voices
These invisible entities
These evil spirits….these demons
These who knows what?
As I looked out upon the nightly scene
This place …….my home
Yet it all seemed so different now
I was hanging on to it by a thread
There was an eerie calm
An eerie quiet
In a way that is
The world around me was quiet
Yet this only seemed
To bring out the presence of the voices even more
It’s hard to describe with words
The menacing voices were alright
Yet the silence of the rest of the world all around me
Was deafening in a way
It seemed to signify
A revelation to me
A reflection upon how it was
Before the arrival of the voices
And how it was now
Now that I was hearing them
