"I've prepared. I've prayed. Now I walk."

 

I Am No Longer Playing with the Voices Inside My Head

The same voices,

echoing inside my head,

keep whispering:

"Keep running until you find yourself by the river.

Because you owe it to yourself.

Do not stay merely to survive."

Otherwise,

you will hear more and more whispers

coming your way, saying,

"Don't go to the river.

Don't run.

Just hide beneath the covers,

where the monsters hide."

Those were yesterday's echoes.

Yesterday's whispers.

Today,

I'm finally choosing

to come out and play.
