There is a little voice
That lives in all our heads.
It may be your parent or your sibling or your friend.
Everytime you think something
That little voice becomes the censor with scissors.
It judges you, it praises you, it even berates.
Sometimes, it becomes louder and irritates.
No, it is not your conscious or the voice that tells you right from wrong.
That voice is a quiet whisper
This voice is loud and strong.
This voice is about people pleasing.
What will he or she say.
That voice doesnt care about people
It only wants you to do the right thing everyday.
No doubt, our folks want the best for us
But they human too,
Everything that scares them, they will tell you not to do.
Their right and wrong is about how safe you’ll be
The greater good they sometimes dont see.
So, remember that the world we live in today,
Our parents couldn’t even imagine yesterday.
So take their advise but dont live by their fear of the unknown
For had our scientists or inventors listened to that voice
Human kind wouldnt have progressed or grown.
