There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
“I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong.”
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What’s right for you – just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.
– Shel Silverstein, The Voice
I Believed Her
I had a friend once
who said to me
I should be living my life differently
and for a while I believed her
I had a mother
who said to me
it hurts too much to love
and for a while I believed her too
I had an inner voice
who said to me
it hurts too much not to love and be true to yourself
and I believed her forever
