It's quiet tonight, in my head
Like one voice is in charge.
Normally there's the chatter, the fighting for my attention. I don't know what to do because there's a thousand things all going at once. Some are on-task and some are not.
I second-guess and third-guess and fourth.
Every step is a battle between 4 different versions of myself.
But tonight it's quiet in my head.
I can hear them, I can feel them, vying for my attention.
Did you remember this? Remember to be guilty about that.
But tonight they are settled, calm, only asking not demanding.
Tonight it's quiet in my head.
They're still distracting, still pulling, and I know it won't last.
But I savor these moments where it's quiet in my head.
