Let The Voices Speak Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

You might sit and ponder, then wake and leave
While you were still near slumber a thought crossed your mind
You thought, no, that's probably not me
I am no genius in that kind of way
A nagging thought on your mind, then a still small voice.

Rather probably just let it go and let me settle
What if the voice inside my head was speaking to me
Maybe if I had the time to listen, I'd be great or even at peace
When I choose not to let the voice speak, I parted with my composure

I heard the voice say maybe, just I shrugged and turned the other side
Is my soul mediocre for not following the prompting?
Should I surrender to the voice just sometime?
Am I free for pretending not to hear what the voices in my head say?
I lead the way and the voices follow
At the junction of our agreeing that's where peace of mind abounds

I promised myself never to cheat myself out of the greatness
Told myself the day I agree with the voices, that will be a sure path to triumph
Let my spirit within me free to hear in eloquences
That day I let the voices speak, I found a new light and a path from inside to the world.
