Quiet
frightening and disturbing
paralyzed by the silence
overwhelmed by the thoughts that race around in my head
His voice
never ending
constantly condemning
never approving
Alone, afraid of the emptiness
not knowing what I wanted
what I needed
no one there to tell me what to do, what to think, how to feel
Fast forward
the hustle and bustle of a busy life
the laughter and joy that surrounds me
friends here, there and everywhere
Longing for
just a little bit
even If only for a moment
Quiet
