I gaze into the mirror
Looking at my empty reflection,
Unrecognised from who I am
The shadow of my rejection,
Words the form like rain clouds
Advice that builds a storm
They rain down into my confusion
Adding disruption to the norm
They tell me this, they tell me that
Yet nobody can clearly see
That your words just bounce off my soul
Like birdsong in my ears
Meanings rebound within my head
A kaleidoscope of messiness
Sentences so dead
What worked for you won’t work for me?
It’s not the same for every soul
I need to do this my way
Not a carriage out of control
Each path that leaves to wisdom
With “this and that” of gold
But in solitude my hope remains
Where my voice is self consoled
The people’s words of chatter
Sounds so poetic and so sweet
But guidance is what I seek just now
Where my soul and heart can meet
So in life’s vocal dance
Just let my heart beat in perfect sted
For the only word I’m listening to
Are the foundations within my head
