NaPoWriMo #16

longing

pacing the packed floors
of my crowded mind
I find voices that are
not my own
longing to be guided to
their own resting places

how did they get here
when will they leave

someone outside of my
body shouts
“YOU SHOULDN’T ASK QUESTIONS YOU DON’T
WANT THE ANSWERS TO!”

and I instantly sit back
in my ergonomics swivel
chair and shut up
