The Voice of Reason

We all have three voices ringing in our ears Sometimes we can only hear the harmful one loud and clear The negative, moralless, judgmental snake the one that reminds us of all our past mistakes Screaming about things that were done long ago Never wanting us to just let them go Desiring for us to be buried alive Never wanting us to get up and let it all subside Repeating our failures and short comings With the intention that we will just keep running However the voice of reason always calmly interjects This voice is more like a whisper that speaks with respect Reminding us that we are not our past faults Rather, we are magnificent, mysterious, secrete vaults Filled with treasures, some old, others new Allowing us to marvel at what we have walked through Speaking words of wisdom and encouraging us to succeed Reminding us that we were made to rise above and lead Then we have our own voice which knows what’s right and wrong on certain days it is not very strong It’s like a game of tug of war deep inside the mind In this place you never know what you will find When one side pulls towards negativity It is the otherside that bring us back to clarity But we ultimately decide Each day whose advice we will override It’s up to us to decipher what is certainly true For there are many truths in life, but only one truth.
