The Voice

Poem : The Voice


Pray for the people inside your head,
cause they wont be there when you're dead.
Pray for the smiles you get on the street,
Cause they're they ones you need to keep.

Smiles from friends, now they can go sour,
Turn to dust in a couple of hours,
Hatred from enemies, colouded with a grin,
Turn your back, they stick the knife in.

But whos the one you're praying to?
Are you praying to your God?
Am I praying to you?

Who do you want to hear your prayer,
Can anyone hear?
Is anyone there?

Talk to the voice in the back of your mind,
It wont turn against you when your hated by your kind,
Its the only one you can tell the truth to,
Cause deep underneath, the voice is you.

Conscience or Madness,
Obsession or Love,
The Voice is the one who towers above.

All the people you dont yet know,
Theyre the ones who cant sink too low.

Say what you think and think what you like,
but just remember you're both too alike.

Whatever it tells you, how far or how near,
Its the only thing you need to hear.
