The Voices

...

By Riley CrossleyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Why do I listen to the voice?

Why is there no other choice?

Every day the same voices play.

Every day I try to keep them away.

They always crawl back stronger than before.

They always know how to rattle my core.

The heart beats but I know that this is not me.

The voices speak and I think it’s the only way I can be.

With guidance I can let go.

With the spirit I can help show.

I know now I am not the voice.

I know now that I have a choice.
