Poetry

Silence

written by: OurSacredHonor

What can you do when you can't find
The words to define
What you feel deep down inside?
And the thoughts in your mind
Are scattered and ambiguous
They're all run on and continuous
I've tried it planned and spontaneous
But it just doesn't seem to amount to much
So many ways and so many paths
Everybody just seems to laugh
Laugh me off, I must sound like an epitaph
Read to many times, with too many rhymes with my last gasp
Nothing in this life is made to last
And I must learn from the past
Cliches, lessons of a life that goes by too fast
Without light no shadows could be cast
But without darkness there'd be no sense of light
There would be no day, only night
Then my words just might
Finally come out right
I've used so many of the same lines
Again and again over such a short period of time
I've grown sick of these thoughts, a creative decline
Can't read the blueprints, understand my design
The same words seem to be drilled into my head
I can't sleep at night, I lie awake in my bed
Relentlessly trying to comprehend
How to make this winding road come to an end
Silence is golden
These thoughts unspoken
When understood as a token
Of my appreciation of this key that I'm holding
