Whispers in the Nighttime
Poetry or prose

The wind

I thought I heard a whisper one day

They were voices inside my head

Don't do it! Don't do it! I heard it say

It's something that you'll always dread

I thought I heard a voice one day

I know that I heard it right-

I dreamt of what would happen next.

The voice whispered to me late last night

Don't ruin what you have now

It's forever good and true

You know that you are truly blessed-

Don't ruin what's good for you

I don't want everything to be in ruins

But no structure can stand forever still-

Just like the choice I had to make-

Do I stay miserable, or do I leave at my own free will?

It's not a choice that I would ever wish

Upon anyone alive-

Don't ruin what you are blessed with

You're family will help you thrive

You set goals that are well within your means

You'll get there soon I know it-

If you quit now-

That's it- you quit-

And no reward to show for it

You have people that love you

Don't let the mean whispers win!

I thought I heard a voice that night

Now it's drowned out by the wind.
