How Why When

How, Why, When
10.13.15

I crave silence 
I crave peace
 crave quiet

From the inner voices haunting me

I crave rest
I crave understanding
I crave time

From the things I cannot express

Where will I find silence
In a world screaming at me
When will I find peace
With a heart so restless
How will I find quiet
When my mind is raging

From things beyond my control

How can I find rest
Without your arms
How will I find understanding
When I barely understand myself
How can I crave time
When it is all I have
