Sssshhh Hear That? ? ? Poem by Ceri Louise Baylis

sssshhhhhh hear that? I'am your inner voice calling
I'am what you confide in when you are falling
So near so close never far away
Always listening to what you say
I'am the reason for restless sleep
Quietly nagging away; buried deep
I'am that gut instinct that avoids danger
I'am the thought process that's a bit stranger
I will call out 'I wouldn't do that if I were you'
I'll be there for everything you go through
I'am the result of pain that produces strength
I'am what you are sure of and what you meant
Unheard unseen by others the inability to speak out
Only voiced when supported by a confidence bout
I'am carefully masked behind politeness
The part of ones being so contrite and righteous
A whisper from your inner voice can change ones views
I can spread doubt fright fear and leave one quite confused
Your inner voice is something we all have in common
Whether you choose to listen to it is a positive phenomenon.
