You're drained and tired,
unsure of what you really desire
Engulfed by raveled sounds
deaf from the faded echoes of the crowd
Contented yet unfree
and deprived of self liberty
Mind consumed by chaos and mayhem
with a heart longing to sing an unheard anthem
Switch off the ear-splitting noises,
shut down the uproaring voices
Hear your heart's hidden music,
pay attention to the lyrics
Hush the outrageous screams
and sing along to what makes you dream
Mute the loud contemplation,
raise the volume of your silenced aspirations
Let your heart sing and speak
and devour yourself to the blissful crescendo of its music
What are you looking for?
What resonates with your inner core?
What makes your eyes glisten?
All you have to do is to listen
—Me-An Villacorta, "Listen to your heart"
Art also by yours truly
