Voice Within

I call out to you; can you hear me,
The faint voice of your broken psyche?

Perhaps my chatter feels alienating,
All scrambled inside and resonating

But never fear, for I am your mind;
Manifest in sound, prototype of my kind

I'll always be here for you to talk to
Whenever the outer world mistreats you

Your burdens of pain and anguished tears
Give me greater understanding of your fears

And so I have come to bring you peace;
Turbulence dispelled, I force chaos to cease

Know that my presence inhabits your heart;
From your soul, the spirit could never part

Here in the depths of your essence, I lie
Extending comforting words when you cry

Search not for hope from a remote source;
Look within, and call upon your inner force

Each breath inhaled strengthens me anew:
Gentle voice of reason, the essence of you.

Author notes

you are never truly alone...if you listen to the voice within.

there is a lyrical version of this poem as well that's posted on my author's page.

    Very Good

    .

    Wonderfull crafting of words

    I'll always be here for you to talk to
    Whenever the outer world mistreats you

    Your burdens of pain and anguished tears
    Give me greater understanding of your fears

    And so I have come to bring you peace;
    Turbulence dispelled, I force chaos to cease

    Know that my presence inhabits your heart;
    From your soul, the spirit could never part

    Here in the depths of your essence, I lie
    Extending comforting words when you cry

    PS: I read you Bio complete, all very interesting
    I appreate your assertions and care for God

    splendid idea for a poem, and your craftmenshift does more then do it justice. I found it an enlightened way to look upon yourself, with eyes that see inside of eyes see into the eyes that see eyes. At the worst of times you truly have a freind within, I think we adore this part of selves and we really run into conflict when that sense is being compromised because of years of misuse. Wonderful poem. All my best

    beautiful imagery

    I found this to be a wonderfully written piece. I chose to write my take of it and listen to what goes on in my mind. I too have two sides and my voice within talks to them both, so I wrote about that. I hope you enjoy. Hugs~ Cuddles

    Awakening

    Your verses said one thing aloud to me "Inner voice is divine. Follow it. Forget them all." When one is low on confidence, only such a realization can bring comfort and wisdom. Thank you so much for hanging a lamp towards the right path on the crossroads.....
    Wish you the best in life,
    Saurabh.

    Extrodinary talent

    WOW Totally awesome, wonderful and spectacular and yet so much more. That innner voice is so important, it's like a guiding force that directs and sometiems even saves us from ourselves or someone who can do us harm. We all need comforting words when we cry. We need that inner peace. You have done in expressing that 'voice within'. An extrodinary write my friend.

    Stay cool

    Well done

    Excellent awareness - the voice within opens a world undiscovered ... If we only would venture on this inner journey without fear, we would tread upon the routes of angels.

    I like this poem, I think we all listen to our inner voice some times, some times it tells us good things, other time it doesnt tell us what we really want to hear.
    Good write
    Take care

    This is really awesome Aurora! You're right about the inner voice but you know, after awhile, even that voice is at a loss for words. Beautiful, deep thoughts. Love it!

    wow, and wow, and wow... that last line was so, perfect... it just totally blew me away.

    this is a very nice piece. written for the one you've been writing a lot about lately, right? (that was slightly confusing...) kudos to you for being there for whomever this was written about/for. that's one thing the world needs more of: people being there for each other.

    you're doing a mighty fine job setting an example. keep that up. and have a nice day

    Couplets can be hard to write, as rhyming can get hard sometimes too, to find the right word, but your poem shows no sign of that, other poems would run away in the power and perfection of your poem! lol. finding out you had entered more poems really made my day brighter, and reading these awesome writes has done a lot for my mood lol. From the first two lines, you had me caught in your writing spell, and I just had to read on to see just what you would say next. I cant give enough praise to this poem.

    I absolutely loved this poem! I could say those words to some of very dear friends of mine, for they are living in sadness and thinking that they are alone.
    An excellent poem Aurora!
    Loves,
    Mari
