the voices in your head
are you sure they are not of the dead
filling your mind with tempting scenes
you wonder if its reality or just dreams
you hold yourself back fearing societal norm
but what if you have been relieved of this and given a new form
will you still hold on to ethics and morality
or will you purge it all and become an entity
the human mind is a dangerous place
never ever still and always in a kind of phase
what if your resistance is lower
and your primal instincts have taken over?
your mind confused and in a daze
you feel you are watching everything through a haze
will you still call yourself alive
when your humanity has taken a dive
the voices in your head
are you sure they are not of the dead?
This is the third poem chosen in the horror genre for the book of horror by various poets

Very eerie. But then I guess that is what you intended the reader to feel.
the last two lines are powerful and creepy. I don’t want the voices to be alive!!
You are brilliant at this 😀 😛

“the human mind is a dangerous place”
It certainly can be! 🙂
The mind indeed is more powerful than what we could ever imagine. The unknown is as dangerous as we could imagine and if we are using our own mind to imagine the powers of our mind the results are endless…
