Voices (Free verse) by mikehi
Who is this voice I hear, in the back of my mind.
Is it me, or someone else,
Teaching me right from wrong, good and bad.
I know this voice as I know my own.
But why is it often a stranger, someone that goes
against my will.
If it is someone else then Who?
Is it someone I have met?
Or is it someone I have known all along?
Or is it someone trying to find the real me?
When I lie still late at night,
and there is nothing to do but listen
I can hear the voice as clear as my own.
The words are there,
I can feel myself mouth them.
The words are real to me, and have a place in my existence,
I like to think that it is me.
A better me trying to find his way out.
Trying to make me a better person.
This is a voice so loud that I wonder
Do you hear this voice too?
