I am silent
but not at peace
Turmoil is building in me
making me mute
There are no words
no expressions
just silence is prevailing
There are no ears
no expectations
There are no opinions
no judgements
There is no calmness
no patience
There is no verdict
no certainty
I am silent
but not at peace
Questions are tying me
but
my soul wants to be free
Doubt is the rust of life.
It has held me tightly
making me paralysed
not making me go either way
There is loneliness
eating my happiness
There is fear
gulping my year
There is fire
burning my desire
I am silent
but not at peace
