Silence is the absence of sound, as white is the absence of color. Like a blank white canvas to a vibrant and exotic image, silence is the backdrop for the colorful noises that fill our ears in each moment. Just like an unpainted easel, silence is boring. It has no texture, no flavor, and no charisma. Because of this, no human has ever sought to achieve true silence. Everytime silence reveals itse...
Silence, complete stillness. I can’t remember the last time that I experienced that. There always seems to be some background noise anywhere you go. Even when you walk in nature, there is an abundance of sounds. The wind blowing, trees moving around, perhaps some animals. When I’m at home it’s also never completely silent. Whether it’s the buzzing of the refrigerator, the radio that’s playing musi...
The eerie coldness wrap around my heart,
I can’t breath.
The walls are whispering
About the time when they were dust.
My brain is yelling
About the time when I was happy
I don’t hear them,
My ears and eyes are disconnected,
Like the landline on my wall.
No one in or out.
The doors are locked from the inside
The key is outside.
A paradox my brain wont even attempt to solve.
My coldness of my twin s...
People often call silence peaceful
Maybe for them
But when I’m alone
The room quiet
The door shut,
The screaming begins.
My head will never let me rest
It will continue to drown me in thoughts and fears
Alone
Trapped in my mind
It’s a prison
That only entraps me for the crime of hating myself...
I wildly press my knuckles into my ears
Like a children’s Tylenol syringe
Squishing out every last drop of sound
All air is sucked out, with a zhooop
A near perfect vaccum, and
Frozen
I feel no surrender but
I no longer fight
For a time
All is omitted
I wait in the silence
In nothing
I wait
Nothing...
Silence is the pause after a heartfelt confession,
A room holding its breath in quiet reflection.
It's the calm before the storm of emotions,
A stillness that speaks louder than words.
It's the moment the pot boils over,
And the chaos settles into calm.
It's the space where thoughts linger,
And memories echo in the quiet.
Silence is the reality we often run from,
A mirror reflecting our deepest ...
Silence is my solitude. Here, I find peace.
I was lost in the voices that kept me bound on a leash.
Silence gives me focus, it gives me time to see You.
Hear Your still, small voice through The Word, it rings true.
Silence is a blessing but it can also be a curse.
If you’re stuck inside your thoughts, overtime it just hurts.
So I sit in this silence, choosing to thank Christ, while this worl...
