SILENCE

A Prayer

By Samantha SemonesPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Subdue the vociferous thoughts coaxing me into a malevolent reality.

Inconspicuous as the depression slithering through my veins, the piercing sting of emptiness rips through me as its presence is made known; too late.

Lull the physical expense I must suffer at the feet of my mental war: wasting away as I am trapped in a world of my own overthinking.

Enraging myself with blame for every second that was spent wasted as I can’t resist but waste more time with the never-ending conversations inside of my mind.

Numbness becomes me, grasping at my throat with its icy wrath.

Cycling through emotions and personalities within my mind becomes daily routine the farther I am removed from myself.

Entice the voices to stifle and disconnect my heart from the many malicious voices only I can hear.
