I hear many, many voices
each, and every day.
Some that are close,
while others are far away.

Each and every day,
another voice, another face
whose sound i can remember,
but whose face i never can trace.

But of all the millions of voices,
heard on a street, or through a wall,
is the the ONE VOICE
i listen to THE most of all.

This voice just happens
to be in my head,
so i hear it during breakfast,
and when i go to bed

i hear my own voice
over all the other noise.
Instructing me, teaching me
so i'll make the right choice.

it gives me comfort,
from most things that are bad.
but it's also my worst critic,
sometimes making me sad.

it tells me "GET UP!!"
when i'm down, and almost out.
It inspires me to fight back,
in either a murmur, or a shout.

If i told someone this,
they would think im "crazy", or so.
But the truth is, my inner voice has helped me,
in ways they'll never know.

My inner voice completes "me",
it makes me the man
more than any cliche,
or soft drink can.

My inner voice, it drives me
to new levels, and heights.
It makes me keep reaching,
through brightest days, and darkest nights.

my inner voice urges me
through joy, and through stryfe.
it pushes me forward,
through the great dance called life.

Over all the other voices i hear
that come, and that go,
my silent inner voice
is the LOUDEST i know.

Now some will think im crazy,
but they dont understand.
I NEED my inner voice,
to make me a complete man.

This is a good poem about how you can help yourself if you try. I liked your approach. When you can listen to yourself more than to someone else, you will never go wrong. I can't wait to see your next post.

Wonderful flow and rhyme Driven!  Much enjoyed the message you portrayed ... for it is sooooo true.  No, you're not crazy at all, for those that listen to that inner voice, make the best choices in life. Well done!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

Great poem.  Keep up the good work.  I don't think your crazy.  I think everyone feels this way at one point or another.  Just keep your head up.

This is a fantastic poem, and I must say, untill I read this, I also though I was crazy, cause I sometimes tend to have these intense conversations with myself, hehe  

Keep up the good writing

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.
