Ever heard something, or someone in your head?
People who tell us to stay out of it?
Watching on standby.
A scene you don't like?
Wanting to step in.
Wanting to help them?
Then you feel an urge.
Telling you to help and be brave?
That is our voice of the mind.
Telling us to help them.
To be brave and stand up for them.
A protective instinct wanting to pounce.
We must listen to that voice.
In our head telling us to be brave.
Even if you're scared.
Remember that one moment.
If you ever had one.
When someone stood up for you.
Protecting you.
The feeling of relief and gratitude.
We should do the same for others in need.
Giving them that feeling you had.
They too will do the same.
You have once done for them.
That is the something, or someone.
In our heads linking to others.
Telling them to be brave.
For those who need it.

Why do we have a voice telling us to be brave? Is it to help those in need? No it's in our nature to help them and the voice in us urging us to take a chance and make a difference. That's the voice in us.
