Silence and I have this unspoken agreement
If I don’t let anything break it, it’ll be around me
But I rarely keep up my end
How can I protect silence when I can’t protect myself?
Silence is an abstract, and I am tangible
Fragile, breaking daily
And I don’t mean to complain
Because Dear god, some of the breaks are beautiful reminders of life
And some are just beautiful or reminders of life
But I break daily
Some breaks are larger than others
But still it remains to be seen: How can I protect the abstract
When I can’t protect the tangible?
