Voices In My Head Poem by Keitumetse Mokhohlane

Voices in my head

[Am I awaiting a Ghost? ]
Why are holding on?
What are you holding onto?
You always have to ask, 'what's going on? '
Kay, what are you driving yourself to?
You have a lot of questions,
They're never there to answer...
Observe their intentions,
Don't they say it's all over?
They may always be active,
But not for you baby girl,
We've scanned, there's no love
Love detected for you...
Let go now, focus
Take it all out, like mucus
Do they care?
Is his side love fair?
You will keep praying?
Will you keep breaking?
Will you keep hurting?
Well, you can still be hoping...
Get the hope that all will be well,
Maybe they'll call,
I mean, I've never been there
There when both of you fell...
When you fell to this trap,
Let me take a nap,
I've got to wrap,
Wrap your love story map
You can have high hopes,
But as soon as you break;
You'd wish you could...
Could have taken a permanent break
[My Questions]
What do I do?
Wait till I'd have to say I do?
Just throw the towel?
Tell me, do I hang myself?
Lock the so called feelings?
Feelings in a shelf?
Whisper sweet nothings?
Am I awaiting a ghost?
