The Voice Inside Of Me!

You know the words...
You know the lines...
All these efforts but
nothing really rhymes...

You know the beats...
You know the rhythm...
But making music
too cumbersome...

You know the colours...
You know the paints...
When you wield the brush
the ideas just faint...

You know the dreams...
You know the reality...
But at crucial stage
they lose their clarity...

Sitting one afternoon...
Writing in the heat...
Weighing your life
and its heartbeat...

The pulse is still there...
The blood still flowing...
You now had to figure
where you are going...

You had been travelling...
Coming and going...
Living out of a bag...
The closet's wondering...

The dust has settled
on things left behind:
Dreams on the pillow,
and friends hard to find

Knowing you had to come
pick the pieces up...
Find a thread or a string
and line them all up...

The moments you gathered...
Triumphs and mistakes...
Reevaluating them all...
Putting so much at stake...

Stirring up the past...
Decoding your self...
Taking all the chances..
Coming out of the shelf...

Still there are struggles...
Journey never ends...
You jump off the edge
and hope it all mends...

What you never risked
you will never get...
Count all your stars
before you forget...

Freedom is never free...
There's always a price...
Empty your pockets
Roll out the dice...

Say a little prayer...
Hope for the best...
When you give it all up...
You don't care for the rest

Take a chance with the one
that's filling up your senses...
Heart wants what it wants...
Drop all your defenses...

Everything happens for good...
The good and the bad...
When you risk it all...
Nothing better than that...

In the state of vulnerability
You're the strongest you can...
For He will hold you close
If betrayed by mortal men...

That's how you learn and grow...
Find the person you are...
Every struggle worthwhile...
The wounds and the scars...

Words echo in your head...
Emotions pump your heart...
But you are as confused
as you were at the start...

So, I hope the night
will do you some good...
Follow all my advice
and do what you should...
