Silence is golden,
ignorance is bliss.
What are we running from?
Constatntly meant to miss.

What is it we fear?
Hear, see, speak no evil, we're taught.
"Stay out of the dark"
It's wicked, they thought.

I embrace the fear,
I embrace the pain.
Embracing everything,
they think I'm insane.

They keep silent
for fear of saying
how deep in their heart
their anger is staying.

If they don't say it,
it's simply not the truth.
Humanity grows wicked,
fighting claw and tooth.
We can't just keep silent,
it'll soon be too big to miss.
because
Silence is golden,
and ignorance is bliss.
What are we running from?


Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken.

LilOnE...
  
       That has to be THE question:

        'What are we running from?'

       This was really powerful, and
           thought-provoking!!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

that's the big question we all have to ask ourself, what are we running for... but I guess nobody knows the exact answer... But life is ment to discover....I guess...

And I shall not rest, til I get my loved ones back..........

But what is it that our lives are meant to discover? That life is useless? That maybe there is a purpose. But if there is... what is it? It's a search....

I like this. Wish I'd written it.
Be well

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-
