The Back Of Your Mind Poem by Jon Yttri

The Back Of Your Mind



When you listen to the back of your mind
You never leave virtue behind.
It's the back of your mind that gives you the right decision.
It is always accurate with great precision.
It's your teacher, your mentor, your map, your coach.
Your experience when it counts the most.
The front of your mind says, "Everyone does it day and night."
The back replies, "That still doesn't make it right."
The front says, "Nobody's looking anywhere near."
The back replies, "Somebody is; you're looking yourself, dear."
The front says, "I'll do it later. Now I'll have fun."
The back replies, "Do it now, have the satisfaction of getting it done."
You'll never regret the wise choice
Of yielding to your inner voice.
