Voice……

heard or unheard,

always leaves an echo!!

Voice…..

inside or out

always wants to be heeded !!

 

There are voices deep within

which shudder you

convulse, make you tremble,

you hush them but still are loud.

it’s the cry of your soul

which appeals to be freed,

it’s the noise in your head

which pleads to be witnessed….

 

There might be a thousand voices outside

but listen to thy self

Because you are the most important amongst all…..

Loved ones might cajole,

hearing and listening are two separate things afterall….

hear what they have to say

but listen to what your heart persuades….

 

Once unheard you might lose it,

lost in the deep rivers

it might be difficult to see,

Your voice can be of the demons too,

Choose wisely don’t fall too soon,

treat your honest voice with respect,

And make peace with the rest.
