The voices in my head
are having an argument.
One wants me to sleep,
the other says it's bad
for me to nap during
the day, she has a point.
The voices in my head
tell me to increase my
meds but that leads to
brain fog - which is not
good for my mental health.
I will use distraction techniques.
Distraction includes writing,
reading, listening to music,
watching TV and playing
those brain games on my
phone, to keep the fog at bay.
Dreaming of holidays in the sun.
Of places on my bucket list
without much hope of actually
going there - I lack motivation.
The voices can't agree, the pull
of positive and negative energy.
I would like them to shut up!
Now there is a voice in my left
ear - an American male tone.
He's new I think, what has he
got to say that will be useful?
"Battery...bat...ter...y," now my
hearing aid is talking to me.
