Deafening silence
My friend,
Look where I have landed myself.
I spent my years craving the silence,
a chance to be away from myself,
a pause from the reality that life keeps knocking into my head,
a chance to be free within this spacious little box that I just called my head.
I prayed,
and I heard the sound of the strings I played.
God himself has come to lull me to bed,
a bed of silence that I now see as despair.
This silence is deafening,
I can not hear even my thoughts now.
I want to pray again,
with hope that God will take this pain away.
