Silence is Golden

Silence is golden,

To break it’s a crime.

It makes things seem simple,

The world sublime.

Thoughts can be clear,

And emotions felt fully,

In that seldom found state

That no one should sully.

It can tear you apart

And reveal who you are,

Scratching at old scabs,

And bursting old scars.

It brings you right back

To where you began,

When you were nothing more,

Than the beginnings of a man.

And that who we all are,

When it tears away our clothes

And shows off all the things

We think no one should know.
