Unheard

****************************************************************************

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
