"I think there must be a place inside of us where dreams go and wait their turn" - Sue Monk Kidd


In a room

I like to call my head.

There’s a girl

who talks to me.


Her speech is

like a steady current,

thrumming in

a coursing beat.


I’m not lone,

nor silently am I

conversing

to myself and I.


Chords of words,

singing joy and worry.

ne’er ending

spirals of thought.


The author's comments:

Do you have a constant internal dialogue? Because I do. I imagine her as a little me, sitting in a blank room, watching me do things. Is it good or bad? I'm not sure, but she's there. Sometimes she's my greatest friend, other times she cripples me, but no matter what, she's always there.
