Poem

It by MwsR

Stillness makes you vulnerable

Quietness makes you scream

Inside things are changing, it’s a complicated thing.

Listening does not make you smarter

Just makes you a listener of things

It’s what you do for others, and what in doing it, it brings.

Foremost in your mind

It will be for a while

Not letting you go, that’s not it’s style.

Torment is what you place on your own self

And there is so much of it to go around

It will hold you up and then knock you onto the ground.

There will be those that beg it to go away

Those that know nothing else but it

And those that will try to rise out from the bottomless pit.

Success depends on your thoughts

What you say to yourself when it is going on

What you believe of yourself when you’re all alone.

No one can make you happy and free, but you.

No one can give you the right advice

The words, the actions, and it be true.
