Voices

Two voices whisper our minds

Two voices whisper in our minds,
one a traitor to our reality,
it is the voice of insistent self,
and emphasizes our inferiority,

The other is the voice of our souls,
it tells we can mirror God's light,
that through prayer and action,
our polished mirror shines bright.

Still we listen to doubts voice,
which curtails our achievements,
encourages our failures,
and causes us bereavement.
