The Effervesence of My Mind

The Voice Within Me

There is a stirring in my soul; touched by the winds of old

A voice speaks within my soul; a voice of times before

I stand in the past, present, and future as I am guided by

the wisdom of the elders

I am not a body, but I am a soul; all things are temporary

Everything must change, nothing remains the same

I must listen to the voice within me

I am guided not by my sight but by the voice of

the Creator of that which is within me

I am not new; I am a soul of old; I am guided by the voice within me

What is for me is not for you and my normal is not normal for you

I have been judged, misguided and cast out

But the voice within me has kept me afloat

My journey; step by step has been long and never ending

But I will be fine as long as I don't listen to people but listen to

the vocie within me

My life I live not for you or for me...the life I live is for the voice

within me that guides me

If I let you or society conform me, then I live not for me but for those

that surround me

Yet, my greatest desire is to live for the voice within me that guides me

I cannot allow what mankind says or does to mold or conform me

I must listen to the voice that is embedded deep within me

From the day I slid from the womb, this voice was in me and I shall take

it to the tomb

If ever I were to turn a deaf ear to the voice that calls within me, I would not

serve my purpose because I would be allowing you to win and rule over me

I am not a body, I am a soul guided by a voice from of old

From that which is inherent within me...I must always allow the voice within

Me to guide me...guide me to freedom
