Every so often we find ourselves in spaces of deep reflections and hard realisations…life is often harder than we expect and we must find ways to deal. Some go silent, others get loud. Some drink the stress away, others fight and quarrel. Some recoil others uncoil…these are the reflections of one choosing silence as their route.
=========
They don’t care, so why do you
They don’t look, you definitely do
They haven’t said a word, you want to
But the truth is, they don’t care about you
==========
You want to tell the whole truth,
Want to tell their truth,
They say it sets you free, the truth
But they lied about that too…..
=========
It breaks and crashes
The truth steals and snatches
It tears homes apart
The truth will break your heart
=========
It then sits back and watches
What its done come to play
Laughing at all the carnage
It causes from day to day
=========
These scratches are killing me
My skin is bruised
Untold truths are eating me
Opening new wounds
=========
I wish they would take a minute
And realize, that I’m not okay
That they are killing me
That you are dying on the inside
=========
But I know that they won’t see
Because love isn’t in their league
Friendship is just another way
To please their needs
=========
That’s not how it works for me,
So I’ll just sit here
Find comfort in the quiet
Drowning in the silence
=========
This is how it’s always been
How it will always be
Just me in my own world
That much is my clarity
=========
My books my safe place
My mind my prison
Society my deathbed
This world, got the best of me
=========
