A Silence.
Shhhhh! Do you hear that? That's the silence that I seek. The silence that I get when I leave my home, The silence that holds me back from being weak. The silence that in the darkness shone. The silence that coaxes me to believe in death, The peace it brings, The commotion that ceases, the quiet. The eternal silence sings, Sings me to sleep that envelopes me. Sings me to 'everlasting' joy. A joy that will not necessarily be. Shhhhh! Do you hear that? It's the silence I want. The dark I need to last, The empty void that envelopes me. A silence so crass, It scars my being, Strips me of my enlightening will, Extinguishes it to plunge me into darkness. Shhhhh! Do you hear that? Nothing, I hear nothing anymore. A shadow consumes me, and the night is all I know.
