I sink into a silent retreat
Looking for a place to hide
I watch my tired running feet
As life becomes one tough ride.
The silence it coldly greets me
Welcoming me with an open arm
Making me see things I should see
Hoping to keep me away from harm.
Silence offers a cold , frozen comfort
Chilling me to my very bone
Shielding me from words that hurt
Making me so very alone.
Silence teaches me who I am
And what I was never meant to be
The thoughts from which I seem to run
Flashing again for me to see.
Silence , without words it speaks
Mocking me , laughing at my plight
The want to flee as it peaks
What can you keep from others sight?
Hide from others that you may do
For you just want to get some space
But hide from you,thats something new!
For your mind always catches up in this race.
Silence thrills but also kills
So I heard some wise one say
After every one of my tears do spill
I hope to wake up to another day.
