#58 Off Topic - Voices

I have a lot of voices in my head

And each one of these voices love the sound of their own

They keep bickering and chattering and jabbering and nattering

Until they turn to one tone



And all of these voice, they have one goal

To suggest what they think is best for me

The only problem with this simple fact is

Each one has a different priority



And there is a great myth

The most of all fantastic of lies

That there is one voice of truth

In that grey bit behind your eyes



That if you know which voice to follow

Then life will go perfectly in all you do

You'll make the right friends, do the right job

Naturally you'll charm the love of your life too



The only issue is, I don't believe this one bit

It would be so nice if this were a fact

If it were, the choice would be so simple

Yet I believe it requires more tact



There is not one voice for good and one for evil

Because that would be a simple choice

Life is not like that, it's much more chaotic

Than to be able to follow one voice



Instead, there's many voices, who each know what's best

All want a different something

One always wants adrenaline, one wants sleep

One simply wants for nothing



Some prefer risks, others security

And near all have certainty when they speak

There's so many choices and outlooks to choose from

You could be there for many a week.



And choose you must, use that most dangerous thing

A personal decisional capacity

Don't follow just one, for you'll get closed minded

That path leads to calamity



Life is tough - there's no easy answer

The same approach is not always the right one

Be a wonderful mix of all sorts of voices

Then, you can be someone.
