Silence envelops my thoughts more than I care to admit I know I wear that like armor, like it was earned somehow But it is a small betrayal of what it truly feels like Solitude while wonderful, can in fact, judge you back in your lesser moments As though softly mocking the choice you happened to make Not out of choice really, but the force of being yourself that turns the world against you Silently, it erodes as a scab that reopens again and again Annoyingly painful, irrefutable. And yet, i blame myself alone. Abandoning what little hope I want to have in my 'choices' I betray myself, only to feel that pain like poison - if only to feel again.

The winner takes it all
Silence envelops my thoughts more than I care to admit I know I wear that like armor, like it was earned somehow But it is a small betrayal of what it truly feels like Solitude while wonderful, can in fact, judge you back in your lesser moments As though softly mocking the choice you happened to make Not out of choice really, but the force of being yourself that turns the world against you Silently, it erodes as a scab that reopens again and again Annoyingly painful, irrefutable. And yet, i blame myself alone. Abandoning what little hope I want to have in my 'choices' I betray myself, only to feel that pain like poison - if only to feel again.
