Words out of Silence

Never silent always chattering, whispers in the ear I hear them so clearly, spill from somewhere inside Many voices of the past, and the words I fear to speak The person who I was, the person I attempt to hide.

Nothing more than sounds, until meaning is derived Image forms to become belief, and behaviour becomes me The person made along the way, down a path I didn't choose To be the man I am today, the one I don't want to be.

To create something more, another experience of this world Change the thoughts and then the words, actions may follow To do what hasn't been done, to be what hasn't yet been seen Yet here we lay staring into eyes, that remain always hollow.

Shadow grow across the sky, spread along the land The visionary subsides, to return to nothing more A moment of clarity stolen, engulfed by the clouds The change halted, all that remains was there before.

As someone who has a mind that never seems to stop, I really relate to this. It's funny how some of those voices just pop up out of nowhere when you least expect it.

And it is worse what those voices say.

I felt the poem is more about fighting with yourself than fighting with the world

$0.33

The world always wins - fighting oneself is always a loss.

It is not necessary to create something new on Earth. The main thing is to make the right choice from what already exists. Very few people on the planet create something new and useful, and they are just as far from the truth as anyone else.

There is no such thing as new, other than in our imagination. Time is an illusion, right? Which means everything that was, is and will be, already exists.

Matter and time are inseparable. Presumably, at a point outside of matter, time does not exist or is different in nature. From there, one would see things as they truly are—whether all ideas have been realized or not.

It’s better to let it all out, as silence can sometimes be even more deafening.

$0.31

We are constantly surrounded by noise now. Perhaps silence is what we need.

Generally the hardest person to change is ourselves. We can understand what needs to change, but old thoughts and habits can keep pulling us back to the person we were :)
