quiet
daxle Quiet
I am sleeping
In here
We need a little hope

For years
I've been sleeping
Helpless
Couldn't tell a soul

Be ashamed
Of the mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Silent
Metal mercies
Castrate
Boys to the bone

Jesus
Are you listening?
Up there
To anyone at all

We are the fossils
The relics of our time
We mutilate the meanings
So they're easy to deny

Be ashamed
Of the mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Quiet
I am sleeping
Quiet
I am sleeping
Quiet
I don't trust you
I can't hear you

Be ashamed
Of the mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Behind me
The grace of falling snow
Cover up everything you know
Come save me from the awful sound
Of nothing

amy quiet go your blinking lashes
to the bright lit sky
thunder shifts to quieter rumbles
the air gives in for dry
and under too our quiet footfalls
worms smell the urgence
rain quiet rain here comes the rain
i'll see you through some splurges.

oh now onto the ground- a splurgence.

BrittStar silent, as i sit and listen...the world goes on as i sit alone...i am here, and everyone is there...i can't leave...i can't move...i can't speak...i hear the words, but they mean nothing...trapped in this never-ending hell...i'm lost to the world, to myself...someone find me, rescue me...save me, keep me alive...free me from my silence, from my pain...break this cycle...find me, and take me away from this reality. 010604

angie The calm before the storm
8:00
It all goes down...
Possibly...
If you even come home.
You have distanced yourself
Sometimes I don't even want you to come back
Sometimes I just want it to go back to the way it was...before this year.
Sometimes I just want my mom to move on.
I wish I could just sleep through all of this.

minnesota_chris When you shut down the computer, turn off the radio. Block the drone of the refrigerators and printers and telephones.
In the stillness, there is a spark, a thrill, a presence.

But now im loud.im loud because you are a short stupid annoying loser.and thats why i hate you, and thats why i love you. 030112

Eowithien the sound of restless thoughts when i am with you
the sound of the rain after the thunder has just left.
the sound of my heart when you have left me.
i am heartless without you
that is why you won't be with me

quiet is only something that i love when i am not in love.

NO REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate it when people call me quiet.
it always seems to be synonymous with boring.
i tend to be quiet in certain situations but not in others.
which i know.
which they don't.
which i think is what bugs me.
i used to be really quiet when i was younger...now i'm not really that quiet at all...but when it's said to me, though occasionally, it still comes as an insult that brings me down for at least a few hours.

i still don't believe in talking if you have nothing to say. not that i usually have nothing to say, (and obviously, that wasn't not a double negative) but i generally like to keep up the belief that i'm somewhat sane. so yeah...i'd rather sing, if nothing else. the irony...lalala...

blah

blah

blah


...or maybe i just prefer to be boring in other ways.

innerflection THERE is a flame within me that has stood
Unmoved, untroubled through a mist of years,
Knowing nor love nor laughter, hope nor fears,
Nor foolish throb of ill, nor wine of good.
I feel no shadow of the winds that brood,
I hear no whisper of a tide that veers,
I weave no thought of passion, nor of tears,
Unfettered I of time, of habitude.
I know no birth, I know no death that chills;
I fear no fate nor fashion, cause nor creed,
I shall outdream the slumber of the hills,
I am the bud, the flower, I the seed:
For I do know that in whate’er I see
I am the part and it the soul of me.
~Quiet

Eowithien I hate being told that, but whenever someone tells me thta word, my lips feel compelled to close and I sit in absolute silence.

Instead of quietude.

alison we saw the western coast,
we saw the hospitals
nurse the shore-line like a wound.
reports of lover's trysts,
were neither clear nor descript.
we kept it safe and slow
the quiet things that no one ever know.

me so im quiet....whats so terrible about that? just cause i chose not to make an idiot out of myself like many people seem to do...i like living in my own little world and talking to people i feel comfortable with. that may make me a little anti social but i dont care...it works for me. its hard for non quiet people to understand how it is for me...but whatever. i dont have to please everyone...or anyone if i dont want to. 050402

mary It's quiet now,
settling in after the day undone.
Its presence intoxicating,
creeping into my blood it calms me;
everything else--let go.
It's quiet now,
soothing as a mother's kiss
it heals me,
keeping me safe, it catches me;
everything else--let go.
It's quiet now,
saving me from the noise.
It allows me to breathe again,
my heart to beat
my tears to dry
my lips to part.
It opens my soul, the quiet,
and I will let you in.
Everything else--let go.
