Silence


One of the most unknown things to man

is silence.

When you look for it, you scare it away.

Yet when you have it,

It does not last for long.

Silence makes me tick.

On the outside it makes things seem peaceful

But inside ones mind there is never silence.

The idea of silence is like the idea of tomorrow.

Both of them are words in which everyone knows the meaning,

But at the same time no one has ever lived through either of them.

Because, tomorrow will never come,

and silence can never be achieved.
