Trippin'

What seemed like a whimsical voice
was making its way into my ear
I struggled intensely to understand
however, it was fuzzy and not very clear

Were there conversations flowing
or was it a singular sound
For it seemed to be just me alone
with no one else around

At times I felt uproariously giddy
With my heart pounding beat after beat
Then without warning it would abruptly halt
leaving me suspended in utter defeat

What had started as a whisper
had quickly turned into a roar
Leaving me grabbing onto the walls
and then throwing me to the floor

Who were these voices in my head
And why had they come
Were they talking to someone else as well
Or was I the only one

I yelled out loud stop stop please
I was yelling at what I could not see
Then suddenly all got quiet as did my heart
For I realized the voices were coming from me
