Listen.

I hear a small, booming voice.

It says "yes" when I say "absolutely not." 

It screams "I know you can" when all I think is "I can't do this anymore."

It breathes "love" when all I can muster is "hate." 

Sometimes, I add more boom to it from the outside world.

Maybe if there's so much crazy around me, I won't have to listen to it.

But I can never quite drown it out.

It always sticks around.

It never tries to push too hard. 

It always stays right where I put it.

It never leaves. 

I just choose to forget it. 

It's everywhere I am.

It's in everything I do.

It's every reason I am.

It's every remedy to every need.

Can you hear it?
