Unnatural Stillness

There's this unnatural stillness
Deep within
My heart, soul, body, and mind
Like the calm before the storm
I feel it coming
But I'm not sure what it is
The maddening confusion
Of thoughts left unchecked
What am i supposed to do
When every day is like the next
Yet always completely diffrent
When up turns to down
And this turns to that
When I want to dissappear
Run away from it all
When what was once a puppy
Is now a multi-headed monster
When light has turned
To total and complete darkness
When I turn into a little kid again
Afraid to let people in
For the hurt they cause is just too much
When I'm running from myself
But myself is two steps ahead
When all I see in the mirror
Is not me at all
When my writing
Once the giver of life
Has turned into poison
When I want to tell everyone
Why I'm this way
But my ability to communicate
Has shutdown
When all I think about
Is a chance at freedom
But knowing
I would never have the guts or strength
But for now
All is still
All is calm
All is quiet
And i can rejoice
In the wonders of numbness
Once again
There's this unnatural stillness
Deep within
My heart, soul, body, and mind
Like the calm before the storm
I rest
I wait
Knowing what comes next

from my heart to my head, to your eyes to your mind.

"alone yet unafraid to hurt. i go through every day trying to find my way. where is the light. where is my fight. is this how it ends?"

Sometimes it takes only the moments of silence in your life to bring you true solace in this world.  I thought it was absolutely compelling and heartfelt.  I hope one day you may find the company of maybe just one enough to tithe you through another crazy day of life.
