There was a time that I thought
I could not move…couldn’t walk..
Couldn’t sing.

I opened my eyes one day,
And breathed…

My eyes were open,
My tounge could move,
I opened my mouth
And screamed…

My eyes saw the truth
For the first time.
My feet already knew the way,
They were just waiting
For the day…

To become unfrozen.

There was a time,
When I thought I couldnt talk,
Could not breathe,
couldn’t walk….

I did something
I thought I would NEVER DO,
I lied to myself to see myself
Through.

Being blind, I just couldn’t see,
That I was not blind at all.

All it took,
Was the simple truth,
To open my eyes and…..

BREATHE.

April 6th

Day 6

Silence

I can’t remember all the times

that I have sat in silence.

Silent tears, Silent sobs.

The silence can be deafening

when you are all alone.

No one to turn to.

Silent is the way my heart feels

too much pain has filled it up.

Silent are my eyes to the agony

of tears that need to fall.

Silent are my ears

To the call of silence in my soul.

I live in silence

It is all that I know.

I remember music

Music that filled my heart

Music that was so beautiful

I rejoiced!

Where is the music now?

I stand in the silence

I want it to go

Hopefully,

someday,

The silence

will be gone.
