Stop the Fight

I am choosing to stop fighting the voices. 

It is better to allow them to overtake me. 

As the voices become the only ones that make sense. 

Because everyone else has their own motives. 

The voices only want to guide me out of this maze. 

A maze where there are people telling me to be strong at every corner. 

But only by being nonchalant, shall I escape. 

While everyone else doubts that I can find success without their help.

But success is not the only way forward. 

I will allow the voices to destroy me. 

In the process, I shall be peaceful. 

As I stand in a drizzling rain. 

That never storms. 

But rather, erodes me with time.
