"Silence" I cannot see beyond tomorrow... Silent twilight creeps in my mind. Lonely days are filled with sorrow. The life I knew is left behind... My world, my life is lived inside One small room... day and night. No clarity of thought, no place to hide From the silent darkness that smothers the light. I am quiet now.... I live in shadow, Bound and gagged by the growing dark. My eyes are closed and my heart is hollow I am mute, I am fading... I leave no mark. |

I may feel like that for a moment, but I always think of something that makes me laugh. There's a song "Wearing the Inside Out" with a similar theme. >From morning to night I stayed out of sight Didn't recognize I'd become No more than alive I'd barely survive In a word...overrun Won't hear a sound >From my mouth I've spent too long On the inside out My skin is cold To the human touch This bleeding heart's Not beating much I murmured a vow of silence and now I don't even hear when I think aloud Extinguished by the light I turn on the night Wear its darkness with an empty smile I'm creeping back to life My nervous system all awry I'm wearing the inside out Look at him now He's paler somehow But he's coming around He's starting to choke It's been so long since he spoke Well he can have the words right from my mouth And with these words I can see Clear through the clouds that covered me Just give it time then speak my name Now we can hear ourselves again I'm holding out For the day When all the coulds Have blown away I'm with you now Can speak your name Now we can hear Ourselves again He's curled into the corner But still the screen is flickering With an endless stream of garbage to...curse the place In a sea of random images The self-destructing animal Waiting for the waves to break He's standing on the threshold Caught in fiery anger And hurled into the furnace he'll...curse the place He's torn in all directions And still the screen is flickering Waiting for the flames to break |

Hmmm...yeah, once I think I felt like that, after a really bad day at school.
:lol: I don't think I can read that all... but I've read the first bit and it sounds pretty good. |

yeh, that poem is pretty depressing. I wrote it on a really bad day. I had been feeling really sick for a couple of weeks (on chemo). Putting it on paper helps it go away for me! |
