You Don't Really Know

Have you ever felt you are going in the wrong direction but have to go it anyway. There is always a reason for what we do although there are times when we should listen to our inner voice. How many could save ourselves from doing or making the wrong decisions if we would just listen.

You  Don't Really Know

It seems you don't really know,
The direction you'll take.
Sometimes you get all mixed up,
For Life can really be great.

Just follow your heart,
You'll arrive there you'll see,
Safe and sound,
If it's really meant to be.

For you don't really know,
Why you've chosen this way,
Why you take this direction,
Thats leading you astray.

It's never too late,
To listen to that voice inside,
You'd be better off,
If you'd let it be your guide.

That little voice we hear,
That voice loud and strong,
It's telling us NOOOOOO,
That road is all wrong.

For you don't really know,
Some may listen, others ignor,
Deep inside they are afraid,
Of whats behind the next door.

Listen to that inner voice,
It will never lead you astray,
Could be the means of life's freedom,
For the rest of your days.

I live this piece as I can get myself into so much trouble, but then I get out of trouble too! There have been a few decisions that make me wipe my brow when all is said and done, but sometimes a voice, a sound or a plae just calls and when it does I must go.....

Be always safe,
Karen

Fear of the unknown, or just fear can be so paralysing. This is a fantastic write on why to ignore the nay saying and go ahead with following the different road. Inspiring. Liz

No road can be a wrong road if it takes us to our promised destiny, no matter how many turns, ups and downs...if one have faith and follow that true road one can't miss.
The trick is not to choose the apparently easy one.

Finding that my inner voice when I choose to listen is the Holy Spirit guiding me trying to help me not go out that mountain again. Not an easy thing to do as your beautiful poem full of wisdom suggests, but if done, the rewards are bountiful. Thanks for sharing. Deborah

Awesome words of wisdom here Rose
If we listen to our inner voice
We can never go wrong
It’s second guessing our inner voice
That sometime gets us in trouble
Brilliant write great message within
Peace Love and Hugesss…Morning star

Yes, following that small inner voice does lead to freedom, possibly for the rest of our days. But I stray to Bingo, when I should not, even get tired of it, but am led astray to go. Want to have some fun, I guess that is why we stray. Other wise I try to listen to that small voice and abey.

Yes I did go against my deepest inner voice of direction & that voice never left me no matter how far I went from it through egnoring the voice...I do not advise against going against the core of oneself.
and your poetry speaks this within volumes & Thank You for sharing this wonderful message, some of us have to learn the hard way & some of us may never recover

God's voice gets drowned out at times but we have to keep faith in Him.

As we each seem to have our own "special spirit guides" or perhaps just our conscience...we must all follow what we feel is best for us, whether it may inadvertantly be wrong, cause pain to others that we cannot forsee or lead to our own downfall...we must follow. Good write Cuz and welcome to Nova Scotia,
