in the midst of silence,
left with only your thoughts
to try and justify what you did
until something arises inside
it cannot be shaken
for it's more powerful
than even the strongest soul
it pulls you back
as you attempt to push forward
gradually it makes its way into your heart
it penetrates you soul
and you quit resisting

my thoughts and questions fill my mind
it becomes too much
so i walk
i run
until its all unleashed
for i cannot stand to keep it all in
but how shall i carry this weight
in a world i do not understand
i look around
and i wonder why i even bother
i look up
i cry
i look around
i run
i try to look forward
but it is no better
for i feel
there is no where i can be
truly me
