Filling Absolute Silence Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Walking away, trying to forget, get rid of the sadness
that has soaked my mind and heart.

Disturbing peace of mind, tearing me away from life with
an everlasting grief.

Pulling me apart inside, filling me with dread, nightmares,
and inconclusive thoughts linked to past memories, caught
between the pages of my mind.

Absolute silence filling me when someone comes near,
freezing inside, becoming fearful, don't want to be seen
by anyone.
