inside of you,
that constant voice
knows you better
than anyone else.
she’s been there
when no one else was.
she knows she’ll never
steer you wrong.
she’ll direct you forward,
& retract you
from uncomfortable situations.
no matter if they say otherwise,
listen to her.
friends know a side of you,
your lover knows another,
but she knows all of you;
all of your inner workings
shaping your heart
and points of view,
listen to her.
when the night is still,
when you’re in the midst
of looking across the room
but you’re 3,000 miles away,
listen to her.
she’s there to keep you
grounded yet dreaming,
enjoying yet wishing
that soon all will be right.
