poem NOISE - the saddest thing i ever heard was my own mind speaking these words of condemnation, blame and shame a guilty verdict full of pain the constant chatter in my brain could slowly drive someone insane and when i tell it to just - stop! it mocks me and repeats that thought the more i try to not tune in the voices reach a loud cruel din like leaves that swirl through gale force winds the thoughts descend on me and win common distractions make things worse is this a self-fulfilling curse? maybe they're right and this is true the things i am are my issue there is no more horrific fate than these relentless thoughts - self-hate but then i ask them to expound and strangely were no answers found i let it chatter on and on and slowly surely they were gone the caucus started to abate. there was no logic to the hate and then i realize i control the things i think that touch my soul a lovelight started breaking through a love that only speaks what's true of grace and beauty cherished one - of worthiness beyond the sun the loudest thing i ever heard were things UNSPOKEN here in words. #love # beauty #loveyourself #selflove #beautiful #poemsdaily #penitdown #poet #poemsoftheday #poemsociety #poemsofinstagram #poems #poetrycommunity #pen #poetsofinstagram #explorepage #read
