Hearing people say what you cannot do
too old, too late, too hard
voices that are constantly speaking
do not listen
Voices that doubt
no faith in who you are
in what you can do
make them silent
Murmuring failures
giving life to faults
foul breath covers you
turn away
Inside yourself others speak
strength, passion, ability
daily growing louder
drowning out the other voices
Deborah Horton Writing
