Listen, someone's calling

Make God Your Guru
Let Him Tell You What To Do
Listen, He's Calling Clear and True
Take Time To Listen, Take Courage To Obey
The Inner Voice Is Calling Calling You

There's an echo all around me. People telling me what they think is the best thing; how they feel a predicament should be solved. They remind me without fail that it's ultimately my decision, probably afraid that they push me to believing something I don't think I believe in. But that's the vulnerability of an advice. It's so right for someone and could wreak havoc in someone else's life.
But at some point it so essential, at least for me, it's sacred. With all the voices around me growing from a distant hum into a cacophony, I begin to discern a whisper. With a little effort and introspection, this whisper emerges out of the shadow of my soul and becomes the most prominent strain in the music of decision making. It hangs around even when you try pushing it away and just grows louder until you can't deny its existence anymore. It forces you to listen to it and drums itself on the windowpane of your heart. It wants to come out into the world of reality and wants to be implemented. It's an insistent voice, and I believe, it's my inner voice. Sometimes I choose to follow it, sometimes I don't. But I can never ignore it. So, when I want to rebel, I simply acknowledge its presence and trick it, buying time or better still, justifying my actions. And it just slinks to a dark corner, waiting to reprimand me when my time has come, eager to tell me: See? I told you so.
And then, I just say thanx and let it rule me, trampling over my emotions, my sentiments and my very existence. But the thanx is also for being allowed to live my life as I pleased, to having chosen my boundaries and crossing them, to have let myself return when I chose and from where I thought was THE END.
And the thanx is due for all the voices that build the echo through which my inner voice struggles to make itself heard and followed, till THE VERY END.
