Silence

IN A WORLD FULL OF THUNDER I WANT SILENCE
I CRAVE IT AND SEEK IT OUT AND ALTHOUGH AT TIMES
I CANNOT FIND IT I STILL SEARCH.

IN A WORLD FULL OF ANGER I FIND NOTHING
MY WORLD SPINS OUT OF CONTROL AND BITTERNESS
CONSUMES MY EVERY ESSENCE.

IN A WORLD OF EXISTENCE I DON’T NOT EXIST
I HIDE MY FACE AWAY AND DO NOT SHOW MY SOUL
MY TRUTH CANNOT BE FOUND

RELUCTANTLY I’VE CONVINCED MYSELF THAT I AM OKAY
BUT LITTLE BY LITTLE I’VE COME TO LEARN THE TRUTH
MY LIFE IS WHAT I MAKE OF IT

IN A WORLD OF LAUGHTER I AM IN THE CORONER
I GLARE BACK AT THEM LIKE THE SHEEP THEY ARE
ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND ME

IN A WORLD OF HAPPINESS I CRY EVERYDAY
MY BROKEN HEART WILL NEVER BE HAPPY
I’M NAKED BEFORE YOU AND YOU’VE NEVER BEEN THERE

IN A WORLD FULL OF LOVE I AM ALONE
FEARS, FEELINGS, AND LONEILESS ARE HERE
I FEAR THAT MY FEELINGS OF LONELINESS WILL NEVER ALLOW ME TO FIND IT.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND MY PRAYERS ARE NOT BEING ANSWERED
I’VE TRIED NOT TO GIVE UP ON MYSELF

BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M TO DO TO STOP THE FEARS FROM CREEPING INTO MY HEART EVERYDAY.

Id this your own work and does it reflect your own feelings?

This is mine, I wrote it in 2005 and it reflects my feelings from several different periods in my life. In fact, I just went through a very dark period and now I'm standing on the other side Thanking God for bringing me out.

I don't feel like this anymore...sorry if I am depressing you.

Not at all. Just wanted to know if you were feeling down now. We all go through it at one time or another. Glad you're on the other side now! Now it's time to write a hippity-skippity piece ;)

Melanie said...

okay, I'll get on that...but for me, it's always easier to write the sad stuff. But I'll definitely return with an upbeat one.

Just write what you write.

Someone should start a web log and call it JACK-Blog and the tag line could be, "JACK-Blog, I write what I want."

Kripes, Randy! I didn't say she shouldn't write what she wanted. Lighten up a little, huh?
