Notes About The Poem

These words are to a song I wrote and perform at open mics in the area. 

Voices

So tell me do you hear
Those voices whispering in your ear?
Do they help you to think clear?
Or do they lead you astray?

Do they tell you things you need to know?
Do they cheer you up when you’re feeling low?
Do they lead you where you should not go?
Or do they help you find your way?

Do they sound like someone that you know?
A voice that comes from long ago?
Do they only come when you’re feeling low?
Do you wish they’d go away?

Do they show up when you’re all alone?
Or do they appear when you’re having fun?
Are you happy when these voices come?
Or do you tune out whatever they say?

You should know that we all hear
Voices whispering in our ears
They can feed our dreams or they stoke our fears
It’s up to us …
