Impulse

This is my struggle every day.

 

I have an itch

An itch I want to scratch

 

I want to scratch it now

I don’t want to wait

 

My little voice says “no”

But my impulse says “yes”

 

I want to talk about it

But I can’t

 

Do I blurt because I want to?

Do I blurt because I need to?

 

Can I control this urge?

Can I control this disorder?

 

The little voice says

“Private”

 

I want to talk

I want to tell

 

My life is interesting

What is wrong with sharing?

 

My better judgement tells me

“You will get hurt again”

 

I must keep these impulses to myself

Some times keeping something to yourself is better, especially if you feel that it may hurt you or some one else.

i liked the style in which you wrote this one.

Blessed be.
