"The Gray Goblin"

The Gray Goblin
In his Purple Suit
Is haunting me.

My day goes by
With duties and cares.
It whispers in my ear
"What if ..." it happened to me?

That's when the Story begins
About how hard
It would be.
"What if ..." it happened to me?

Always so negative,
Always so unreal,
And always so unnecessary.
"What if ..." it happened to me?

It's repeating to me,
How awful it would be,
If they falsely accuse me.
"What if ..." it happened to me?

Oh, you must fight!
Oh, you must use might!
Oh, it's just not right!

The Gray Goblin
In his Purple Suit
Is haunting me.


This poem is about inner voices, or "mind speak" as they used to call it in psychology. The voice inside is so alien to the person's normal thoughts and so much different a charactor that then person can only view it has a seperate being from themself, one that is evil. This poem has evovled into a story that is 295 pages long now. Hopefully this will see print one day. Anyway, in the story, the charactor's voice is a combonation of his father's voice and a demon's, who are the same person/being. The voice takes on a life of it's own and manifests itself into a being that he can see and touch.
