There’s a voice in my head
That keeps questioning me
Why did you do this?
Why did you feel that?
Why did you think that?
Is that the right thing to do?
How do you think he/ she feels?
I don’t know if everyone has it
And it is not always there
Is it part of humanity’s toolkit?
Are some people just not aware?
Or am I a freak
And this delusion?
This voice’s critique
A mere illusion?
Is my mind fractured?
Divided within
A strange new structure
Hidden by my skin?
Then there’s the Lady
Another apparition
She might seem shady
But she helps with my condition
Sometimes the two become one
Answers become imperative
And after it is done
My mind forms a narrative
Of how I should behave
Of how I should act
When my reason is in tune
With my spirit

Well spoken! That criticizing voice is our societal conditioning, IMHO…; -)

I did not read it that way, but your interpretation fits so well. This voice’s questions and the confrontation brought me closer to inner clarity, I think.

You didn’t overstep 🙂 Your comments are always welcome and appreciated. I was talking about the chatroom he was talking about In the video. The one where everyone’s thoughts are connected. Really sorry if I was unclear. I’m not very good at talking to people… though I enjoy it.

I completely understand. Genuinely. It feels like a prisoner. You know the story about The Devil and Hell being in his head instead of being in a place? That’s me. It’s never quiet and I’m always feeling or thinking, thinking and feeling. I can’t get out of it and it hurts me everywhere in my body and I can’t escape or breathe. I think it’s not a 100% everyone extreme thing, but a lot of people feel deeply enough.

I think you’re right, Feets. I have kind of made my peace with that critique going on in my head. It’s not so bad anymore.

I get it, but I am working on mine. It’s tiring being here alone, but I don’t live around people I trust with my life and sanity.😞

I think a lot of people have that voice. I do too. I used to at least. It’s strange that I didn’t have it when I was in school. Or maybe I just suppressed it.

That’s what I was wondering. I first thought that it was an unusual phenomenon, but it might actually be very common.
