The Warring Room

I stand inside this warring room within my soul.

My head pounds from the bickering. The arguments.

From this platform, the room comes into focus.

They need me to speak. They won’t shut up until I speak

With my wolf hearing, each chorus becomes independent

The voices that say, ‘Enough already, this is not for you’

Shall I draw the curtain between them? Step to one side or the other?

Mom and Dad are on vacation

The elders are on vacation

The guardians are on vacation

I am alone with this noise in this chamber of war

And all I can think about is the bone-crushing nausea that floods my soul each time I say yes and it turns to vapors.

And all I can think about is the feeling of emptiness that engulfs me when I think of saying no.

Where are you, my love? I am here alone.
