The voice in your head
is not your friend.
Criticises you
for hours on end.
Dare you show
any sign of independence.
It will not wait
to seek its vengeance.
Nothing you do
can meet its approval.
Any change of plan
only ends in refusal.
It has been with you
as long as you can remember.
Now you find
that it is easier to surrender.
The 50 year old poet 
Should one really surrender? It takes a toll to fight the voices within, doesn’t it?
