The call of the voice within

Need I fear what I do not know

Do I create what is 

Truly 

From what I believe

Am I really that powerful

Is it really that simple
And if I am that powerful
And if life is so simple
Why do I fear so

Need I fear for my future 

Or am I just meant to live

Need I worry about what tomorrow brings

Or do I stay rooted to this moment

This point in time

This present that is mine

How do I stop my mind from wondering

And from wandering

From straying into the dark

Where I feel I can't see

Let alone breathe

How do I stop myself from getting all up in a tizzy

When things don't work out as planned

When life seems to have different plans for me

Leading me down an unknown path

A path least expected

A road less travelled

Where there are no maps

No detours

No exits

Because the journey is unknown to anyone 

But me

Where I have to draw my own maps

Find my own paths

Chart my own course

My own exits

If any exist

How do I stop myself from projecting into that place

That far away place

That removes me from my own voice

That drowns out my voice

And replaces it with noise

White noise so I can’t hear

How do I keep myself grounded in the now

When the now seems to be coming unglued

Or is it just projecting my fears 
And my fears are causing the glue to come unglued

Because I am too afraid to listen

Too afraid to stop

Too afraid to be who I know I am meant to be

Was born to be

Asked to come here to be

How do I know who I am really

When the world keeps demanding I am someone else

When people keep expecting me to be

Someone 

I am not

When does it end

Where does it end

How do I stop the white noise

So I can hear

So I can stop running

And just stand still

Where my voice becomes her voice

And we become one

Standing in the midst of our silence

As we surrender to the call

The call of the voice within
