Learning to listen to the voice of me

Learning to trust myself

To listen to my inner voice

Is one of my hardest lessons

My greatest life journey challenge

Listening to myself

Above all the noise

Above all the chatter

Above all the fear

And trusting that what I hear

From myself 

Is really what I need

Not what anyone else wants from me

Not from any of the worldly demands

Just what I know

Instinctively

 Is right

Is what I have to learn

To trust my inner voice

When I do

I always end up

Where I am meant to be

I always feel present

I always feel content

But when I don’t

That’s when it all goes wrong

When the world feels dark

When the road feels desolate

And I feel all alone

Afraid

Of the next move

Afraid of what

Comes next

So why do I override

That beautiful and true

Inner me

For the benefit of everyone else

Why do I silence

My inner guide

When it has led me

To where I need to be

Time and time again

Why do I fear my inner guide

Is it because

I am so busy

Trying to be someone else

Other than me

Is it because I am so used to being

And doing for others

That I don’t even know what

My inner voice sounds like

Anymore

Is it because the noise and the chatter

That I allow in

Is an excuse to stop

Being me

Is it because it’s easier to be what

Everyone else wants

So that if I fail

I falsely believe

It’s their fault

Not mine

So who do I blame

When I silence

My inner voice

That beautiful light

That always shines

That always radiates

Whenever I am ready

To show me the way

To guide me away

From the darkest tunnels

And takes me to the brightest

And most colourful

And abundant

Meadows

Where the sun is always shining

The birds are always chirping

And there is a pot of gold

Waiting

At the end of the rainbow

Just for me

Whenever I listen to the voice of me

I have to learn

To trust

The voice of me

My inner guide

My inner light

Only then

Will I feel

Satisfaction and worth

Because I will be living

The life of me

And no one else’s

Embracing

I am

As I am

Where I am

Always

Or at least

The majority of the time

Can I face my life challenge

Of listening to

My inner voice

My guide

My angel

My genie

My magic me

I am open and receptive

Trying to focus

Trying to hear

The voice of me

And live my life

As it is destined

To be
