Silence

It's dark outside tonight.
Darker than usual...
Not a soul to find...

There isn't a moon to shine,
in the window at night.
There isn't a wind,
to drown out the cry of an infant.
There isn't even the sound of the hopeless leafs,
falling from the broken down tree.

Not even a bleep of sound,
can be dangerous.
You can think of things,
you wish you'd never thought of.

Sometimes these thoughts can be deadly.
They can take over our bodies,
even if we ask them not to.
Sometimes thoughts can be hurtful.
They can make us trip and stumble,
all around the place.

So with these thoughts,
In the silence,
I start to wonder if it's worth it?
If all the work I put in for you,
is even worth living for?
If all this fighting,
is worth the struggle?
Is it worth even trying to hide all the screaming in my brain?

Is it.....
