Three voices don’t let me sleep
What I want?
What society expects from me?
What I expect myself to do?
Four riddles are never solved
What do those people think about me?
Do they really care to think about me …..
or anything else?
Why am I thinking about
what they think about me?
Echoes from graveyards of thoughts
move around in the guise of ghosts
disturb reality
as it is today
I can reinvent the wheel?
my way
for machines I need
today
I may not need wheels at all
when life moves
on air waves and
radio frequencies
This is deliciously dark and haunting, Reena! I especially resonate with; “Four riddles are never solved,”.. yes.. we all tend to wonder along those lines at times. Thank you soo much for writing to the prompt. 💝💝
This piece reminds me of sleepless nights where those questions roll around in my noggin over and over again. Self-defeating.

The four riddles seem to be on my mind quite often. And I ask myself the why and what questions. It’s a puzzle!
