I Hate The Silence

I hate the silence

The silence in my mind

The echo of thoughts

Speaking everything my lips won’t. 

~ 

I hate the empty

I hate the cold

I hate the numbness

Spreading throughout

My bones. 

~ 

Silence

It scares me...

You can rise up from anything. You can completely recreate yourself. Nothing is permanent. You’re not stuck. You have choices. You can think new thoughts. You can learn something new. You can create new habits. All that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

Clouding my mind with its daze

How can you love this mess in the mirror?
