Poem: Unwanted Soundtrack To A Life.
Unwanted Soundtrack To A Life.
.
.
Once again I listen
To the insistent voice
That is my lifelong companion.
Every act of faith I compose
Is commented upon at length
By it’s unwelcome accompaniment.
It is hard to continue
Because of the quiet criticism
And wilful discouragement
Of this other darker self
And it’s insistent persuasion
Which revokes my brightest days.
