Inner Voice Vs. Soul

Inner Voice Vs. Soul

A Poem by modtoddinc
"

This is a Found piece... I use some dialogue from the movie Legend, a verse from a U2 song, and my own thoughts.

"

The dialogue-

Inner Self: “Eat”

Soul: “I’m not hungry.”

Inner Self: “You Lie! Hhmm hm hm hm, just to please me!”

Soul: “I do nothing for your pleasure!”

Inner Self: “All I wish, is for you to sit… and,   - talk with me…”

Soul: “Sit?”

Soul: “Here?”

Inner Self: “Yes…  Plleease!”

Soul: “I prefer to stand.”

Inner Self: “SILENCE!!!!!”

Inner Self: “Or stand… As you wish. It is enough… that we are, alone, together.”

Inner Self: “Just the two of us… “

Inner Self: “heh, Some um… s-imple conversation.”

Soul: “I have nothing to talk about.”

Soul: “You’ve stolen my dreams away…”

Inner Self: “All things change, Lady… the dreams of youth, are the regrets of maturity. Dreams are my specialty; through dreams, I influence mankind.”

Inner Self: “My dream is of eternity.”

Inner Self: “With you… I offer you, this rose… princess. My Heart! My Soul! My love..."

Soul: “Love?”



We all experience the battle within ourselves to do what we think is right.

We justify what we do throughout each and every night,

The voice within is our own,

Everything outside is just a clone,

We label others, share our struggles, and make excuses,

But each battle is fought and won, or lost, within ourselves...

 as one story.

 

“One love

One life

 When it's one need

 In the night

 It's one love

 We get to share it”*

 

*From the song One, by U2, 1991

Dialogue from the movie Legend, 1985

Todd, Excuse my language (English) but this is f****n' amazing. You have taken my penchant for multi-media (music videos accompanying my writes) and escalated it to a whole, broader level. It's too bad you couldn't have found away to include the song's portion (One) into the sound. But I was deeply enthralled by this piece, you are a very talented young man. Keep RR's coming my way, and when you are accepting an award for your work, hold the award up toward the camera and say, "To you, dan!" take care...dan
