Silence

I sit in the silence,
Alone in the dark,
Thinking to myself,
And I feel like I’m nothing but a virus.

And from what I can gather from the people around me,
Being around me is terrible.
So people avoid me,
And they always keep their distance.

So I stay down here,
Staring at a wall,
Sitting in a corner,
Wishing I could be a new person in all.

But I’ve been in silence,
Away from others for so long,
That I start to hear the silence,
A quiet and melodic song.

Even in something
As empty and meaningless as nothing
You can still find something great.
So look for it, and don’t wait.

A very beautiful written poem, continue to write as it helps especially when you re in depression, well my father suffered from schizophrenia for 6 years that s why I m very well aware of it, he explains it like you don t like to do anything, just lie on bed and stare at the ceiling, don t like to meet anyone, your loved ones seems to be your enemies, I really pray for you that you overcome depression, just have faith in God because a religious person can never suffer from depression, good luck
