Voices in my head!


“I can never calm them down. Other than me no one can hear them but they are actually nerve racking sometimes. They are soothing, disturbing and many a times they are just an incoherent buzz. From dawn to dusk they talk to me punctuated by the hum of the washing machine, beeps of oven , whistles of cooker, distant loud chatter and laughs and so on so forth. They guide me, misguide me, tickle me, bring a frown on my face but never leave my head. When I sleep I may be in smiles but my voices always travel miles”.

  1. That's a good one, Afshan! True, nobody can hear our voices in the head but they are forever there... creating a cacophony of thoughts!

  7. Afshan, you're so correct. Many times, I get lost, talking to myself. At times I wish I could shut them up, and not confuse me; but at the other times, I'm happy that they're there :)

  13. Yes those voices - they never leave us alone - but now and then they give us a few pearls of wisdom.

What do you think about this ? I always love to hear back. A comment or a brickbat boosts me to write more but the mud slinging shall be promptly vacuumed.

Thanks for your time :)
