CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SELF

I wish I could hear you whisper one more thing to me,

So that I could feel the warm that transcends your voice,

I wish your voice could echo to my soul

Cause I have lost touch with you,

An empty void has replaced your presence

And I have lost your embrace,

I have lost that fighting spirit that shone bright

Like the sun which chases the darkness,

I have lost the courage

That roars to keep the flame burning bright

From the depths of my being,

Oh I wish I could sit down and talk to you,

Sit down and drink from your wisdom,

Wisdom which has enlightened my journey from the beginning,

Please tell me that you can hear my voice,

That you can feel its shakiness

As I try to hold back the tears,

 I wish you could revive this body from its fatigue,

I wish I could be rejuvenated enough

To drag myself out from the shackles of despair

That are grow tighter than before,

Give me the strength and courage

To rise from the ashes like the phoenix

And tower above my insecurities,

Give me the courage to believe in myself again,

The courage to not let doubt cripple me

While I try to transcend to the glory that I see before me,

I wish I could hear your voice,

If I could hear it maybe then

I could acknowledge that I have the power to overcome this,

The power to overcome this barrier that blocks me from success,

Maybe I could have the power to dig deep

And find my true essence,

This is a conversation with myself

Because it is only I who could break

The walls that have been erected in my mind,
