The inner voice

The Inner Voice.

I felt like a restless wanderer with no inspiration on this earth.
Worrying myself with resentment, anger, materialism, fear,
unnecessary stress, and an unfulfilled life.
My strength was gone, in vain and for nothing.
Senseless thoughts worried me to death, many life forces I have
tried but led me, to the same dead-end.
Day after day living hopelessly, I give up, I’m tired.
I have labored to no purpose, noticing that the drive of
envy and jealousy was the basic motive for my success.
So I fell on my knees, wondering what can be the way,
the truth, life, the nature of reality.
I thought that the mind was everything,
what you think, you become.
But then an inner voice told me I have plans for you,
not plans to hurt you, but hopeful for a good future.
Feeling a perfect peace when I trusted my inner voice,
I started focusing all my energy on that one thing.
Forgetting the past and reaching out to what lies ahead.
Straining to reach the beginning of my new spirituality,
by calling up to the heavens.
My blurred vision was cleared and eternity was planted
in my heart, made to last forever.

JR

I was really touched by your writing...this poem made a piece of my soul reach out and connect to the feeling created when reading this poem...but it's often hard to listen to your inner voice, for your mind is it's opposing fore and tends to put false logic into things that make no sense, and we then end up making wrong decisions that leave us empty inside...But I feel if you learn to trust yourself then you'll have more courage to listen to your inner voice and do the right thing no matter how hard that may be...

Thank you for the read

Ash
