Silence

Peace is what I seek

Calm is what I'll never be

My troubles never give me rest

There's no break, no respite.

Even the peace I think I have is all fake

A facade to cover my inner fights

My smiles are all plastic

Default setting to hide my dislike

The sugar coated life isn't easy

You say one thing and mean something else

After all, only sweet nothings work best

But once I stopped to think

Once I stopped to breathe

I realized that true peace was always with me. . .

Hidden in the silence.
