The War Within

The Thoughts That Survive Will Determine Victory

I’m hearing multiple voices

speaking about my future choices.

And there’s no way for me to escape what’s being said.

Because the conversations are going on inside my head.

Logic and Reason, debating with Doubt and Fear.

And let’s be clear.

This goes on 365 days of the year.

The tag teams.

One saying to pursue my dreams.

While the other is saying that pursuit will be harder than it seems.

Doubt and Fear: “Stick to what you know/because you’re not built to build a business, your business is to help that built business grow. No need to pray/just get up, get out, and make this day pay/don’t you have unpaid bills to pay?”

Logic and Reason: “Don’t be shook/by the pawn and rook/the king and queen is saying start reading a bunch of books/because different perspectives will give you various outlooks. You two should be ashamed for trying to mislead this poor guy/everyone should have a desire to live before they die.”

Doubt and Fear: “But is it truly living/when you have gave all that can be given? And still end up with far less/face it man, you were born to be no better than third best.”

Logic and Reason: “Don’t face that/because that’s far from a fact/to do, you must be willing to act. Failure is an option but it doesn’t have to be the end of the story/allow it to be the fuel to your fire that blazes you to glory.”

Doubt and Fear: “Or have you crash and burn/be happy with what you earn/because contrary to their belief, it’ll never be your turn.”

Logic and Reason: “Of course we disagree/you see/consistency is the key/that will set you free/your time may not be right now, but someday it could be. But you gotta believe/if things don’t go your way, grieve/but never think to leave. Never give these two the satisfaction of saying I told you so/progress may be slow/but slow/is better than a no go.

Thank you for taking the time and donating it to reading my words. May your success continue to exceed your highest expectations.
