Making Up My Own Mind

Morning approaches out of another sleepless night Anticipation gathers around my bedposts come daylight Decisions made in the dark,they fade away so fast Was it a dream of consequences related to the past? Should I disregard the calm I feel as I begin the day? Maybe I will learn how to get out of my own way! It's very good to have the strength to seek out all your choices But not so great when all you hear are everybodys voices Telling you this and meaning that just doesn't cut the mustard It leaves you silently indignant and so very flustered So just follow your voice within,find what you really need Let the naysayers figure out you won't be taking heed
