Quiet

Why can we not speak our minds? Why is it so hard to express thoughts, emotions, and desires to one another? Is it the evolution of past experiences that bind us to this never-ending silence, that we sit in our silence and fret over what should have been said or needs to be said instead of just being honest and forthcoming. We sit in our miserable states waiting for someone to talk, no matter how painful the topic might become or already is. We need that ability to move on in life, be it the way you want or the process of healing. Either way, it is a silence that cannot be ignored for it will consume every inch of you, inhabit your thoughts, and invade your soul until you are paralyzed with uncertainty. The sound of silence can be refreshing but it also can be a permanent reminder of just how alone we really are.
