listen without hearing

With silence you hear so much.
The mutterings of your insecurities,
The whispers of your doubts,
The mocking of your fears.

With silence you hear so little.
From your friends who support you,
From lovers who adore you,
From family who love you.

With silence you hear yourself.
What you think of friends,
What you think of lovers,
What you think of family.

What you think of yourself.

I often noticed that when I'm alone, no conversations from anyone, do I truly hear what I need to listen to: My own voice. How that voice draws upon the maybes, the has beens, and the could bes. That voice, drowned by the voice of others, freely reigns my thoughts when in solitude. However I do my best to listen to it not to feel down.

But to listen where I need to improve in.

This is to those who also hear that voice. Listen and learn.
