I’m listening to the same ol voices
They play like tapes inside our heads
They tell us we are doing it wrong
They tell us we aren’t quite good enough
They tell us to work and to please
Yet we try and it’s never enough
Who are the voices that tell us these things
Who is making us feel enslaved
They’re voices of fear
Of lack
And uncertainty
They are voices who need to control
They’re afraid of the power we all contain within
They’re afraid of losing control
But what is control
I turn to them and ask
What does losing control really look like
It’s not chaos and mayhem like it is on tv
That’s just what they’d like you to think
It’s losing control of the world they have built
If you suddenly start feeling the pain
If you recognize the truth of the cage you are in
You’ll stop feeding it and it will turn to pain
You don’t want to see who is looming over you
The faces of those that you trust
It’s unbearable to think
To imagine their pain
So you swallow your own mind
Lose control
Let it go
Start serving yourself
You know what’s inside you
You know your true self
This world is an illusion
Struggling to survive
Self love is the answer
The only way you will thrive
