Communicating My Silence

by Baby Rainbow   Feb 23, 2014


I don't know the words to say any more
to explain my silence to you.
My heart is clamming shut,
afraid of being hurt,
and my mind is shutting down,
afraid of being misunderstood...
...again.

Communication feels pointless,
when I can't even connect with myself.

I become numb.
Empty.
Alone.

I question my existence.

...

But I know you feel my pain,
even when I deny it is there.

And my biggest fear is that
you might leave, because I
never found the words to explain
why I needed you to stay.

    Being disconnected from our own soul, that feeling of emptiness. Numbness to me is the worst, it's like being dead inside. And often we are misunderstood since others can't begin to imagine what we are going through
    Very sad.
    Great write

    Wow saffie. This one really touched me more than the others. I definitely can relate to this one the most. But this wording is perfect. Again when you have been hurtyour heart shuts down and you ddon't even know how to describe the pain you feel. Silence does speak louder than any words. I liked the start of this poem because you bring a feeling of sadness within your friends and even yourself and you don't even know how to help yourself. And at the end there is a little hope but it's twisted around. This person wants you in their life but you fear them leaving because your silence is haunting. You don't know how to explain how to deal with the pain or how they can help at all. Sad but well written! !
