Whispering
I am the dog you see on the chain.
I am the cat you see in the drain.
I am the friend who has no home.
I am the stray who lives all alone.
I am the friend you helped today.
I am the one you transported far away.
I am the voice you hear in your head.
I am the caged animal who often dreads.
I am the opinion you are trying to change.
I am the anger you feel, and the rage.
I am the tears you cry when I am sick.
I am the hurt you feel, but cannot fix.
I am the voice in your head, when you cannot sleep.
I am the reason for the long hours that you keep.
I am the voice who desperately needs you,
And if not you?then who?
I am whispering
and you are my voice.

I sure wish I knew who wrote this.
