Silence in me
as my eyes open
to a world,
to a life
that I struggle
to make better,
so that I might finally
taste the breath of freedom.
Cold am I
as each day melts
into velvet dark,
and silence is all I know.
It’s only when
I hear
the rhythm of life,
the flow of expression
that pour from my speakers
that creates my heart.
I can feel once more.
I can know myself again.
Pulse after pulse,
step by step,
I’m alive
with a beating heart.
The only thing that I fear
are those who do not
understand the music,
and if they succeed
to silence my heart
that strongly beats
within my chest,
I’ll know nothing.
I’ll feel nothing.
All I will have
is silence
within me.
