Hark! There is that knocking!
It started out, like a gentle nudge;
nothing but a tiny budge,
as I continued, unaffected, on my way.
It was nothing soul-destroying,
if anything, slightly annoying.
But really only a slight hiccup
as I went about my day.
As time went on
it turned into a tapping
then, impatient rapping.
As if to say, there is something here
that you should not ignore.
Yet, it seemed so silly to entertain
such senseless tapping inside my brain.
Especially when absolutely nothing
was out of the ordinary before.
So I continued on the same,
ignoring the rapping as it came.
Until after months and then years
I realised I could not take it anymore.
I could no more endure these taps;
these knocks, the pulls, those raps.
They became deafening,
as if to say, something\'s wrong
right at the core.
As if to specifically say,
\"it\'s time to change your way.
Attend to this,
that is all
your soul is asking for\".
