Voices

Voices
Jenny takes over, she can’t stand when people take long
Even in sleep she mumbles about leaving
She likes to use words like poor, broke, and tired
These words describe how she gets out of lying

So hard to get a smile, so it says in her file
Voices inside tell her
Run fast, you’ll be gone a while, ten miles
They say to keep telling her lies, arrival
She takes a nap, and wakes up to have a snack
The picture she claims moves on it’s own some days
This isn’t the worst it’s been, it’s been worse
Sometimes she cries with dried out eyes for days
So hard to get a smile, so it says in her file
Voices inside tell her
Run fast, you’ll be gone a while, ten miles
They say to keep telling her lies of arrival
You’re invited, so exited, gone a while, some miles
I keep going on, going on, going on,
Pushing her out
Your desire to inspire her
Your desire is required, this half smile, like a child
Run fast, you’ll be gone a while, ten miles
They say to keep telling her lies of arrival
You’re invited, so exited, gone a while, some miles
I keep going on, going on, going on,
Pushing her out.
Someday you’ll make or break her revival.
