THE TRUTH IS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY
The truth is that there is nothing to say.
Regardless, we say. Silence frightens us.
We steel ourselves against it -- pretense play.
The truth is that we scare ourselves away.
Much better that than face the emptiness
That lays itself upon our consciousness
Like winds upon the desert sand-dunes lay.
When by ourselves we can do many things
Like write a letter or read a book or
Sing our favorite song or fall fast-asleep.
When among others, conversation brings
Commercial-costume cast-iron armor
Marketplace-masquerade mist blanket deep.

It's beautiful Flint.
I do like to be silent most of the time because it is when I'm most poetic and I can meditate and think of things deeply. But it doesn't really scare me.
I think you've done a reverse psychology thing to your poem description. You write that probably we shouldn't read this but that makes people curious about this poem.
GOOD JOB!
This is a good poem.
Keep on writing. |

This is partially true, but if you find the right people, you can also do all of those things with them.
I often sing my favorite songs with friends, or create art and poetry. You just have to find the right people who aren't nervous about silence or expressing themselves in other ways. |

I absolutely love your poems. Even though I am 14 (turning 15 in 2 weeks) I understand what all of your poems, no matter how descriptive or personalized or distinct, I know what theme they are displaying, and I love them :) Thank you for sharing!
your biggest fan,
Savvy |
