There is a war going on inside our head.
The good versus the bad.
The scared versus the brave.
There is no single victor,
For the war goes on for a lifetime.
Back and forth, the voices go.
Perhaps there was never meant to be a winner,
And the real prize is to be self aware.
To befriend your voices,
And from time to time,
Give them a microphone.
We all have these voices in our head.
But regardless of their presence,
It’s up to us to decide which ones to use,
Which ones to base our actions on,
And which ones define us.
It’s not about the voices in your head.
It’s about what you do with them.
