Sometimes I’m okay with the silence

The aloneness

Makes me feel

Present

Alive

 

Still

 

Though my mind never stops moving

I do

 

I feel most people aren’t this way

They don’t seem to sit in the corner of a room

And just breathe

But the quiet leaves me be

 

And I can finally gather air into my lungs

And let it sit for more than a moment

Before it is exhaled

In speech

Waisted

On ears

 

Yes

I like it this way

When I can be in the company

Of silence
