Notes About The Poem

My Inner Voice

I leave the daily hustle and bustle and the cacophony of city sound. And head to where the leaves softly rustle in the breeze, and no one else is around. When I'm alone, I experience peace that raises my soul to a higher plane. And anxiety's attacks slowly cease, free from critical critiques and disdain. Seclusion fuels imagination; shaping reality within my mind. And it's a feeling of liberation; unrestricted by rules of any kind. Whenever I seek solitude by choice, I heed the whispers of my inner voice.

It s a really peaceful and lovely poem, now a day the cities are full of pollution and noises that a peaceful evening is impossible, on the other hand, go to a place, full of birds, trees, where there s no noise of machines, no pollution, that place truly give your mind and soul peace,
