Silence can be dangerous.
The quiet gives us room to think,
where our brains aren't occupied
by the commotion of day-to-day life.
It can be violent,
when we're met face-to-face
with what's going on in our head.
It's frightening,
when our thoughts are blatantky before us.
We're not caught up in the touch-and-go
sensation that distracts our mind from
what darkness dwells behind our skull.
It's always there, just sometimes
it applied a bit more pressure that usual.
But do not fear the stillness.
Daily life can chip away at our bones
until we're left feeling drained.
And sometimes, it's only when everythings's quiet
when we realize this.
We feel lost, hopeless, empty,
and we feal this reality.
But the only way to remedy
is to emerse yourself in the silence.
Do not run from it or find a way out;
let it soak in.
This can be a time where we piece things together,
where we polarize our thoughts,
where we can find the problem.
It may be scary at first.
It can feel lonesome.
But I promise you,
if you stay in your trench,
if you dwell in this darkness,
if you keep yourself here,
eventually, you will find the problem.
I've sat in the silence,
I've found the problem,
I've climbed over my wall.
It was painful,
but with people by my side,
I've made my way out of this trench.
I am a Dreamer,
and so are you.

I'm not at all pure,
But I hold the cure.
We're all diseased.
I hold onto the key.

I never really understood
Why you like coffee anyway
Having something so cold and bitter
To start your day

Or maybe it's just me
Acustomed to the customs of this world
A product of this day and age
And that why I couldn't see

A past so dark and dreary
Shown in your eyes cold and weary
Weak and beaten down
You fell away beneath the sound

To live again another day
In the quiet cliché of this café
Within the solitude of your own creation
You view the world through your imagination

That's why you would take a sip of bitterness
In this jaded and abstracted mind of yours
Now the only bridge to entity you'll let through
A gentle reminiscent of reality's grim kiss
A poem I wrote a while ago

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

I won’t leave you
If you need me, I’ll be there
I’ll be your shoulder to lean on
I’ll help you win your war
You aren’t alone
I hope you know that

There’s something else I want you to know
I won’t let you leave me
I know I’m selfish
I’m not sorry about that though
Because you are worth too much
You’re a legend in my eyes

I know I may not know the reason
Of your sadness
You can tell me if you want to
And even if you don’t
I will help you destroy your demons
When everyone you thought you knew
Deserts your fight, I’ll go with you
You’re facing down a dark hall
I’ll grab my light and go with you
