Sub-Conscious

We all have the voice inside our head that we often push to the back of it.

I am the voice you’ve never heard

I flow through you 

And though you don’t know I’m there

I-will always be

 

I am the voice you’ve never heard

Never uttering what you want to hear

And so, you unknowingly dismiss me 

Before I reach your lips

 

I am the voice you’ve never heard

But one you know is there

I am here with you now 

I am everywhere 

 

Beneath your anxiously weighted tongue

Rests the digression of your grace 

As mistaken thoughts become imperative actions

And, in such events, I become your regret that waited so pretentiously to surface 

 

I am with you each night-before the moon comes, and the sun sets 

And though, I wander both heart and brain 

I am always somewhere in-between 

Somehow adhered to polar opposites-Like magnets.

 

I am the voice you’ve never heard

But one you know is there

I am here with you now 

I am everywhere

 

I am the voice that prays with you each night

And soars when you’re asleep

I do not rest

I do not speak

 

And though I am not detected by your superfluous conscious

I will rest assured knowing I am infallible 

Somehow at ease 

By the thought of your incessant and incapable mind

 

And when you are laid down to rest 

My voice will stay on earth 

A disconcerting thought-I am you

And you never knew yourself

 

My words- left un-acknowledged,

though you knew exactly what they meant 

I am the words you couldn’t fathom to be real, and so, you let them slip away 

I am who you wanted to be, before you found out who you weren't

And so, I am the lost piece of your dreams that you never cared to look for.

Reviews

I love the idea of writing a poetry about your subconscious, it is almost what poems are made of in the end anyway...that hidden piece of subconscious that we emotionally attach ourselves to, and have no other way to express it, but to pen it down and lock it away in a notebook somewhere. Very well written, I love the lines "Beneath your anxiously weighted tongue, Rests the digression of your grace". Great job, keep writing!

[Poison Soulz]

WOW that was really good! It's written so gracefully and just simply amazing. GREAT WRITE!

I like how it flows. Now poetry is not my thing, I have absolutely no talent in writing it, nor do I know much about it. So don't let my review weigh to heavily with you. However I like it alot. Just the way it flows, your use of vocabulary, just the way you describe it in general. It makes sense to me, it's something I can understand. Which is rather suprising since most poetry I cannot relate to you...or I'm just lacking the ability to read between the lines.
