NOT SILENT

Silence has a sound

If you listen

Does it sound like peace

Quiet breathing

Content thoughts

Kind memories

Your own heartbeat

Or is it loud

Electrical humming

Chaos echoing

A chorus of voices

That sound like you?

Berating you?

Scolding you?

Questioning you?

And then answering you?

Internal silence doesn’t exist

And sometimes it asks

Too many questions
