within your silence,
i lost valuable breaths.  

within your silence,
life escaped existence.

within your silence,
i encountered shelter
escaping delirium.

within your silence,
stillness prevailed.

within your silence,
i encountered dignity.

within your silence,
i felt unpredictable pride.

within your silence,
i carried weightless weights.  

within your silence,
strength embraced skepticism.

within your silence,
i found refuge
thru self reflections.  

within your silence,
life calmly evolved.

within your silence,
i silently exhaled
from an agonizing muzzle.

within your silence,
freedom sang hallelujah’s
from my suffering lungs.
