Conversations
In your mind
Playing out
Clouding 
Your thoughts
A mile a minute
Conversations
Playing
Through your mind
Keeping you from peace
Not allowing you
To center
To find that quiet place
That refuge inside your mind
When the world comes stumbling in
Threatening your peace
Keeping you from getting sleep
Sometimes these conversations
Can seem so real
It can feel
Like these conversations
That incessant chatter
Just won't stop
Sometimes
Those thoughts in your head
Can become so constant
That you start to believe
That the thoughts
And the feelings
And the voices in your head
Are actually real
And you can begin to believe
The negative things
That keep playing through 
Your mind
Sometimes
You have to separate yourself
From your thoughts
Learning to switch your thoughts
Switch your perspectives 
So that you can begin to separate
The thoughts inside your head
And begin listening to
That calm inner voice
That encourages
That guides
That offers 
Peace
Quiet
Calm 
That lets you know
That you are beautiful
That you are
Exactly where
You should be

You are so right! Sometimes that voice inside just shouts and shouts, drowning out everything else. Great words, Ahmed!

That One voice differs from the other voices. The others try to convince you to do this or that, be this or that and so on and they are always in conflict with one another and you. The One voice is never conflicted, never tries to convince you of anything. It only presents what is truly real then steps back and allows you to make the choices you will. Like you say, it guides

Not so easy silencing those voices...worth a try to find peace...wonderful job!!

beautiful amazing, magical and wise poem! i feel that these voices are not just by chance, or only 'yours", maybe it`s intuition or spirits around, trying to connect with 'you"...we shoudln`t always listen if the voices are dark and scared us...then it will come the peaceful voice too...! even it seems so dark, we are in hope always...
