A hive lives in my mind Shows up in strange thoughts I find A swarm of opinions from out there It forms a crowd in my head It’s loud and persistent Terribly rude and insistent Forces me to open my ears Makes me do what it shares It drowns out my voice Fills my noggin with noise I can’t outtalk its screams I’m stuck listening it seems Shame follows my every step As it recites words of regret This hive I can’t escape It’s become my unsafe space

The Hive
A hive lives in my mind Shows up in strange thoughts I find A swarm of opinions from out there It forms a crowd in my head It’s loud and persistent Terribly rude and insistent Forces me to open my ears Makes me do what it shares It drowns out my voice Fills my noggin with noise I can’t outtalk its screams I’m stuck listening it seems Shame follows my every step As it recites words of regret This hive I can’t escape It’s become my unsafe space
