I wish my mind would cease.
("Inadequate")
So that I could sleep,
("You're a failure")
So I could rest,
("I don't want to")
So that I wouldn't dream,
("I can't")
Of false and dangerous things.
("I'm tired")
Awake or in sleep,
("I want to quit")
My mind continues to speak.
("They don't love me")
Who gave it a voice?
("It hurts")
Who told it my secrets?
("Why")
Who taught it to lie?
("Go away")
It betrays me.
("It's not possible")
Why?
