Struggle with Silence

Wanna know how to survive?

Keep your mouth shut!

No one twists words that are unspoken.

No one judges silence. 

Silence is golden. 

It's your lifeline. 

It keeps you safe. 

But then again,

 silence is deadly. 

Every thought.

Every word.

Racing through your head. 

Never stopping.

Not

For

One

Second.

Silence is your escape 

and your prison. 

Everything locked away.

No judging,

but no relief.

No relief from the constantly racing thoughts.

No judging. 

No relief.

No judging

No relief

No!

 No! 

No!

Just keep quiet!

Incredible! To speak you risk judgement, to remain silent you gain some protection and yet in a way encases you, isolates you from others. Please keep writing and creating! Excellent!

[Grant Redford]

Great poem. If only I could keep my mouth shut, I wouldn't get my rear kicked so frequently. Your verse sums it up, those racing thoughts somehow escape into words.

Yeah! Displaying both sides of the coin. One cannot exist without the otber. The pattern of words is fitting.

I like the expression. Very well written and I'm looking forward to more of your poems! The one word on one line was very effective!

I like the expression of your thoughts. Silence is good but yes really kills you from inside through the thoughts bombarding in your head. Meditation is silence would be best to get rid of thoughts though. Very well written nicely arranged!
