Should my declarations so proudly proclaimed
Remain
unheard
unacknowledged
unattained
I will only speak quieter....
Caught in silent withdrawal
For stillness
represents strength
And inaction
strong character
For every lesson learned
Was earned through error
Correction
comes over time
In the meanwhile you will find
I reach out only
to steady myself
Not to lean on you
Or see what you would do
I don\'t require or so it would seem
The care and desire you once feigned
Unattainable
is not my desire
Silence used
to quiet my mind
Searching my emotions
Only to find
My declarations
reverberate here
Sincerely
evaluated
over time
My decisions may stand stark
unanswered questions
sequestered in the dark
299
Should my declarations so proudly proclaimed
Remain
unheard
unacknowledged
unattained
Still and silent as the night
Refocus myself to make it alright
Until the time..............
It comes back around
In quiet examination
Is where I can be found
