Hoping For Some SilenceA Poem by EquivalentExchangeI’m hoping for some silence Some love, some grace I’m hoping this might break The place, I’m in And the places that I’ve been I’m just about to run So hold me down And hold me tight I’m shattered in the waves With everything I gave I thought that you might care But never did you care I’ve tried to fill the noise With quiet psalms But sometimes it’s not enough Sometimes You’re just not enough I need some kind of quiet space Where I can find a place to be I need not to win this race I need to just be me And I feel that I might break Please, don’t let me break I’ve been praying That all this noise dies out But you’ve been saying That you’re filled with doubt About where I’m going About where I’ve been I think I just need To escape This place just runs me ‘round in circles Can you tell me where I’m going? Can you tell me where I’ve been? I just keep on blowing up But I just never learn That some things won’t change Until I leave this place I'm hoping for some silence Still I'm filled with doubt So I’ll gather my spare change Then I’m getting out © 2011 EquivalentExchangeAuthor's Note
