The Voice Within

The Voice Within

A Poem by Taru Jain
"

I

"

I am aware of a voice presently,

Shouting within me,

It calls for freedom but freedom for what?

Ah! That's a distant thought.

Voice is getting clearer, the purpose unknown,
Something so deep, have I heard before?

Harsh yet beautiful, well-acquainted yet strange,
It comes to me at times so frail,
In a crowd or at home, 
It accompanies me at places galore.

It feels like a mirror now, that it reflects
the very desires of my soul.
They say, " Life is not a dream, come back to your senses",
But someone ask them what do I do with the voice within?

Meanwhile, the voice is getting stronger,
For it to express I can wait no longer,

All the while, let me fake my smile!

Our voice always wants say so many things..in the dark or light:)
If you fake a smile today you will never give a true smile of your own..
nicely written piece..keep writing!!
