Silence

Folder: 
Published

I lay in bed trying to calm my mind. 

But my panic rises and roams free in my head, 

All I can think of is the silence. 

It's funny how silence affects us. 

In it we can find solace and peace, 

Or in it we can find anxiety and worry. 

Did I do something wrong? 

Am I not interesting enough? 

Am I not good enough? 

Did I cause this silence?  

I know the world doesn't revolve around me. 

But just once maybe I want to be someone else's world. 

It's the silence that destroys my peace. 

I withdrawal into myself, 

The past has taught me well. 

Silence is a weapon.

It gets into my head and destroys any peace I've found, 

In silence my insecurities scream. 

Don't be too much.... 

Another sleepless silent night alone. 

I resolve to take a step back. 

Don't give so much of me.

Trying to find my peace in the cloak of night. As the sun peaks over the morning horizon, 

I finally fade to sleep, 

In silences cold embrace.

Timeless (012)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

There is audio for this that I feel prudent to listen to alongside the written word. 

I don't know how, if such an option exists, to upload that audio file to this posting though

(Ain’t It Sad) How Things Turn Out to Be

Author's Notes/Comments: 

 (Ain’t It Sad) How Things Turn Out to Be began life as a song, written and recorded in 2016, although, as the lyrics make manifestly clear, it stems from one of my episodic ‘glass half empty’ periods.

Stand By You

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this song today when I really should be studying for exams this coming week on Monday/Tuesday night classes. It's about moving on, letting go of the person you thought was "the one" and then finding "the one" in someone else that can love you better, treat you better, etc.
