Be Still
never ending words,
empty meaning,
never shut my mouth,
while my soul is screaming.
blah, blah, blah,
I go on and on,
why don't I shut up,
this is just wrong.
for words reflect the heart,
and all of it's desire's.
yes there's evil lurking there,
and it never tires.
as I go on talking,
it prays I'll never stop.
for silence reveals the soul,
and condemns my very thought.
