“Don’t shush your inner voice. It is who you are.”
There is the little voice that is housed
Inside us, quiet as a church mouse
That tries its best, our guardian angel to be
Tries to protect us from walking into calamity
Holding us back when we are being reckless
Cheering us on when we are feckless
This voice is so quiet, we often can’t register
It above the cacophony of constant chatter
That envelops us most of the time, most days
Much louder, therefore we disregard what this voice says
I think this is a tragic situation for mankind
Where other’s opinions rule our minds..
**
I was no exception, and did not pay heed
To my inner voice, in times of need
Was quick to accept what I was told
Growing up in a paternalistic society’s fold
Disregarded my instinct on many occasions
Only to realize that others’ opinions
Did not work for me, better it would have been
Had I the wisdom of hearing my inner voice seen
**
I started paying attention when I realized
My sixth sense- this voice, gave counsel wise
When I had complex patients to treat
My innate sense gave me insight indeed
When things seemed straightforward enough
But this voice nagged me to reassess my stuff
To take a second look, valuable clues I would find
That changed everything, and I would remind
Myself to be more cognizant of my voice
That would steer me towards the right choice
**
Many voices shall continue to invade
Our hearing fields, we have to wade
Through the noise to reach inside
Wherein lies wisdom to tackle this world wide.
