Song of Silence

Song of Silence

A Poem by Collette Clark

Falling away from the cliffside of sanity
My equilibrium spins around out of control
I don't know what to make of this message sent to me
How this all plays out
Only God could know

Mixed signals are all I've gotten
Foreign languages are all I hear
My translator's on vacation
I fend for myself, alone
Why won't God tell me what He knows?

Confusion is an illusion from the inside of our minds
We have no definition as we hang on for the ride
It's too damn dark and getting late
I can't go back inside because
I'm so far out, I can't swim back
I've been swept by the tide

Mirros falling through my mind
Only images of prospect
I can't tell myself
From the image they reflect
Not even God knows what this could say

Shattering as they fall
Seven years of bad luck
Watch me as I pretend to care
I'm doomed already
Superstitious curses won't change that

Hope and despair
Evaluations and assumptions mean nothing
This concentration eludes me
My suffering consumes me
Why was I doomed from the start?

Confusion is no illusion
It dwells inside my mind
It is my definition, I struggle to stay alive
The night grows dark, it's far too late
There's nowhere I can hide
I'm so far out, I can't swim back
Doomed are you and I

"Foreign languages are all I hear

Thats depressing...
"I struggle to stay alive
The night grows dark, it's far too late
There's nowhere I can hide
I'm so far out, I can't swim back
Doomed are you and I"
--I hope I've helped give you at least somewhat of a more positive outlook? ;(
