Silence in the Darkness

Written sometime in February of 2016. This was the numbing effect of depression after my breakup. I've always hated silence....this changed me for a while.

Silence lets my head be clear

On a lake of chaos

In a boat

I cannot steer

My dreams show me what there is to lose

But don't take me where I want to be

Silence used to scare me

To threaten me

To devour me

And now it's where I can be safely

My thoughts are voices

That never slow down

They overpower

They want me to drown

I'm desperate for clarity

For peace

For light

Anything, to help with this fight

Maybe things will turn around soon

Something will shine bright

And drive away the gloom

For now I lie

Alone in my bed

Watching the darkness

Surrounding my head
