We die in our Silence

poem by: Godfrey Georges
Written on Aug 20, 2017

We often are lonely and die in silence,
in life's pains we often live,
In our vanity we carefully try to balance,
Our soul, mind, body... and so we give
Anything...everything...to find life,
to find courage to speak as we dare,
To dismiss our timid minds of fear and strife,
And march on a wing and a prayer,
To speak our truth that is locked within,
Though our heart says no, and our sight dims.
But, if we acquiesce to silence, we will lie with sin,
And in hell we enter, so dreary, so grim.
We will lose our mind, and our souls travail,
tears from our ducts gushes as darkness prevails.
