Lonely Listening

Getting away
to breathe and live.
To live for me
and myself.
So much wasted time
waiting to live
and merely surviving each day.

Guided by my inner voice
I hear it whispering.
So used to hearing others
that I become an undertone.

Vacationing to learn
more about myself
and challenging the thoughts
that I always push away.
I rely on their opinions
instead of what is inside of me.

If I listen hard enough,
maybe I will hear God's voice.
He made me and knows
exactly what I need to hear.
