The whispers are muttered audibly-
But only to me, in all honesty;
They’re a type of secret prophecy
That torture me with ferocity.
Maybe they’re why I’m no conversationalist.
Or perhaps, it’s why I’m a perfectionist.
Ha, that’s a lie- I’m just a con-artist
Painting the world like a friendly psychologist.
The words from my heart are optimistic
The words from my mouth are realistic
But the words in my head are terroristic-
