A person within you

Lives within forever

A person within you
Talks endless
When sun moves over the sky
When moon moves over the sky.

A person within you
Shows a world never existed
While you walk, thinking you live
While you sleep, thinking it's dream.

A person within you
Tells all your wishes
That you never expects
That you never demands

A person within you
Tells all lies as it is true
That you behave accordingly
That you feel accordingly.

A person within you
Hacks your existence
Takes you to the top of a mountain
Pulls you down unexpectedly.

A person within you
Is neither God nor devil
It's a clever self
Living with you forever.

a very interestingly done poem, a person within a person, inner voice perhaps. the everyday, every time the voice or the other self that holds us back or pushes us further. It's a question to be or not to be. which is right, which isn't or doesn't matter. the write captures this dilemma beautifully and reminds us that there's that entity within us, always there, the presence is known but the outcomes are unknown. well done! Thanks for sharing, TP!

Sorry for the delay Arundass, I've been away. enjoyed the read, and the questions it challenges one to consider. Namely who is that person inside me, and what are they trying to tell me

happy new yr

This poem makes me think of the Ego. The Self. The spark that follows us--that MAKES us.... US. You seem to have a dreamy way of putting your words together. There are moments I find myself rereading certain parts, searching for deeper meaning in the creative structure of your stanzas. Aside from thinking of the Ego, this makes me also consider that the poem could be talking about the Shadow Self as well. The part of us that is always with us, even when we try not to notice it. Either way, this is a thoughtful poem with colorful language--even if at times I struggle to connect the dots. Thanks for sharing this with all of us :)

The person within me is a real son of a "B" he almost never lets me finish a poem without criticizing the hell out of it first:/ My trashcan is filled with it's rejections

We all live as a copy inside. Thank you friend

Could this person within you be your alter ego? A higher voice directing your life whether good or bad… sometimes I think I have something inside me leading me on certain paths … it is very complex, should we follow that voice or not? I le the way you portrayed this concept

That inner voice talking away, weighing things up and down.Do you listen or do you make your own decisions. Interesting read Arundass, much enjoyed.

It is a very serious difficulty for a person not to trust the voice inside them or to be at odds with it. Your brain is trying to protect you and sometimes it can do this by pulling you back. Sometimes the best thing that can protect you can be the worst thing that will happen to you. So which one is the real you? Which voice is your reality? We don't know.
A perfectly written poem, sir. Thank you for sharing

Our inner voice from little to our older self we hear and see and have loved it. We sometimes dont want to hear it and do things otherwise but its always there, our life force, the energy behind this body matter which will decay. That will always be there and transcend into other life too probably ! Can any other thing be as loyal to us than this clever living thing inside us. Our scriptures and fablesa have spoken at length about this aham/ego, about Aham Brahmasmi but we haven’t been able to quieten it! Simple, cute yet very deep my dear!

Yes, your conscience is with you for your whole life. After death, the evil spirit returns to Hell and the good spirit escorts us to the Father of All Life who judges us. If we believe in Jesus, then HIS blood totally abolishes every sin for eternity! God does not and will not co-exist with sin.
