We Should Listen To Ourselves
Let’s try to listen to ourselves, even though we are not taught how to do it. We know ourselves better than anyone else. Here’s my poem about that.
I believe that we are not taught to listen to our being
We are taught to discard what we are feeling
There are more important things to do, they say
The cycle repeats itself day by spirit crushing day
Let other people incorrectly judge your talents and worth
And all of this false praise starts at birth
We should try to listen to ourselves for a change
Perhaps psychological disorders are the exceptions
But for the most part, we should be able to find our own directions
We are babied long after infancy
As adults we should take agency
Unfortunately, real agency is discouraged
When it should really be encouraged
You may have an idea that is brilliant
A vision that is absolutely magnificent
But you have to resilient
For that “learning” academy has you immured
With your creativity stifled, it has to be endured
Don’t lose sight on what you want, listen to yourself
These liberty discarding lessons are taught at home, too
You are confused, you do not know what’s false or true
They think your own mind is the foe
But, what do they really know?
It’s an airstrike on your ingenuity
It also fires a shot at your productivity
Your motivation is fading or it’s already gone
It feels like there is nothing to act on
I repeat, we should listen to ourselves
Society is creating lambs and sheep
That don’t want to think too deep
Authority feed their minds and give them negative voices
During critical times, they are given very few choices
Their minds are contaminated with beliefs that are not right
And you can’t blame them, it’s not their fault
What would you expect
From young minds who do not know how to inspect?
They don’t listen to themselves
When they really should, we all should listen to ourselves
