PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

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.
