It is not seen
It cannot be heard
It is not felt by touch
It never speaks a single word

Could darkness be a place
Maybe it is a state of mind
Could it be clouds within a storm
The one place I can always find

Where I learned to be strong
Where I ran to forget life's tragic ways
Where I never had to be perfect
As  the nights blend into days

It is where I hear a thousand words
Yet not one passes through my lips
They sing a chorus of my deepest sorrows
Will there ever be a day I can forget

Please keep your tissues for yourself
This is my self proclaimed fate
It is where I wallow in silence
From all the mistakes I've ever made
