Beauty in the Silence

Words so eloquent

Room awkward like an elephant

Drama, yeah I started shit

Listen, just not hearing it

Stop on the moment, 

where mind starts to roam

Insufferable with my thoughts 

Please take me out this home 

Uncomfortable with myself

So I pick up the phone

Seeking out for comfort

But stuck on an endless scroll

Invasive thoughts strike

“Am I going to die alone”

Darkness covers light 

Do I have no place to go?

Until a deep breath, 

and sitting with myself.

Breathe in 1,2,3 and OUT 4,5,6

Peace comes from mind and not from how many ‘likes” clicked. 

Social media only offers a temporary fix

But leaning into ‘self’ can help me intermix,

the quiet in the mind that one can only seek 

And appreciating the beauty in the silence that I once thought made me weak.

Until I realize that I am once again able to peacefully fall asleep. 

And dream softly knowing life is not so bleak.
