little voice # Day 9

In a moment of denial
When the blues took over
And shadows mocked in between
Tenaciously testing my will power.
“Why, oh, why?"
"Do I have to do this?"
I asked myself continuously,
Stubbornly ignoring
that little voice within
Till I couldn’t hear it anymore.
 
I started missing it,
I pleaded, I cried
I promised to believe
And it returned
With gifts of joy.

  2. That's what happens every time I tell myself that I should stop writing because I'm not that good and no-one likes what I write. I still have to do it after a while. I guess it's kind of an addiction.
