I sat and listened to the voices
Ever present in my head.
Besieged forever, plagued with choices,
The rumors of wise men long dead.
"Their wisdom could not stop death coming."
The voices ever pressured me.
"A mournful dirge and death beats drumming,
Some words of with their legacy."
"But then," I questioned "What of life?
Is it some long and pointless chance
To conquer struggles, woes, and strife,
But in the end a futile dance?"
In solemn voice they state reply
"A yes is yes and no is no.
You're born, you live, and always die,
But in that time you learn and grow.
You gather wealth or maybe lose it.
Work hard or you're lazy.
You learn to love, though some abuse it.
You're of sound mind or crazy."
From this I did no answer glean,
These ramblings that the voices said.
So say I "And what does love mean,
That wound from which most men have bled?"
Their voices rose in terrific chorus,
A strange and slightly creepy chant.
"How odd you bring this quest before us.
We'd like to answer, but... we can't.
See love has many definitions,
Some are false, though some are true.
All torn with man's selfish ambitions,
Love can mean one thing to you.
Love is always what you make it:
Priority or none at all.
You be sincere or maybe fake it,
But watch your step lest you may fall."
As one the voices all went silent,
Echoing their final note,
And suddenly my mood grew violent.
I stood and at my chair I smote
Beneath me as I cried aloud,
"What wisdom have you shared with me?!
No silver lining has this cloud!
All life is drab futility!"
And to my knees I slowly sink
As tears run down my angry face,
And no coherent thoughts I think
As I'm forever in this place.
The voices never speak to me
Since that day so long ago,
But even so they ruined completely
My whole life as now you know.
And that life, it still goes on
Though I know I'll soon be dead.
Never listen, for they're wrong,
To the voices in your head.
