Silence
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.
