Poem: The War of Voices

Every morning I wake up,I hear a ringing voice echoing my deepest fears and regrets,

Every morning I try, try my worst to stop the ravings of the sorry man,

Every morning the voice grows louder and louder bouncing off in my heart's vaults,

Every morning the melancholy of dread reaches to the depth of my soul and grabs it ,

And twists it until my head explodes.

Every morning when the pressure breaks free, I become the man who is gone mad,

I become the man who lost his wits to a raving loon with a loud voice,

A voice loud enough to break the constraints of my mental fortitude,

A voice that conquered the most private parts of me,

A voice that became so prominent that it became me.

Every morning when I become the voice and obey it taking it to be my very own voice,

When rationality ceases and chaos becomes the norm of my inner world,

When all around me see a man who lost his wits to raving loon with a loud voice,

When I myself loose the cognition to grasp the difference between my and the loon's voice,

When everything that made me sane went haywire,

I hear a voice that is so silent yet so powerful,

I hear a voice so clean like a golden string in a pearl necklace,

I hear a voice that gets me to my foot,

The voice questions me,

The voice inquires my identity,

It makes me realize that the ravings will never stop,

That the ravings are eternal,

That a man has to find his peace in the mid of a meaningless war,

That there is no purpose to life,

That none of our ambitions can fill the dark void in our selves,

That the only reason to live is life,

That we don't possess anything but this moment.

The voice is the north star for the lost sailor.

For we all are lost in the ocean of logic and reason,

Some knows this and they strain to hear this silent voice,

Some knows this yet afraid of the bluntness of the truth refuse to accept it,

Some don't even know the existence of the voice,

They are drowned in the illusion of the world and take the noise to be the symphony of life.
