Be like that

I’ve heard voices for years

saying… be like that

and most of the time ignored

the fact

it doesn’t matter when weeping.

I’ve spent time sweeping

dirt in a factory of dreams

hearing voices saying…

be like that

the one who turns and walks

not ready to talk.

I’ve been walking on an edge

of candles lighting the way

easily falling time after time

trying to say, be like that

while dancing in a ballroom

alone

hearing voices..
