The Voice Within
(A Poem I Wrote About What Goes On In My Head)

Ever wonder where that voice within comes from
The one that tells you where to go or how you should feel
The same one that tells you to stop cause it knows your wrong
Or the voice that tells you to put your head down and kneel
The other one tells you to stand tall cause it knows they are wrong
If and when that times comes, which voice do you actually listen to
The one that seems to say the right things and goes on and on
Or the one you tune out cause you know it’s to good to be true

All I know is that when I’m feeling upset and cold its telling me to smile
And when I’m happy inside I can hear it screaming and crying
Its amazing what they are saying to get me to try for that extra mile
When I know what they are telling me I wan to break down and cry
I’ve been told to follow my heart and listen to that voice within
But how exactly do you follow it when you cannot control it
I try to sort all the feelings and I get lost not knowing where to begin
When I can hear it screaming back at me I look for something to hit

Overall I’ve chosen to listen to what that voice says throughout my life
Even when I know whats wrong with me and I don’t know the right things to say
I can hear it saying what I wanted to say, so loud it cuts me like a knife
What is wrong with wanting to say what you don’t wanna say today
When I find the answer to that, I’ll more understand that voice within you
Until that day comes I read your face and see what your voice is telling me
Even without you saying anything to me I can hear your voice to
I’ve gotten used to these voices cause they are here to stay with me
