Instinct

Instinct is my quiet guide,
that feeling deep inside
that tells me when something’s right or wrong,
even if my mind can’t explain it.

Sometimes I doubt it,
second-guess myself,
but mostly I’ve learned to trust it.

It’s saved me from mistakes,
led me to people and places
I wouldn’t have found otherwise.

Instinct isn’t loud or flashy,
it’s a steady whisper,
and I’m learning to listen more every day.

Blessed.
