Stillness Through the Storm
Mary has loved writing ever since she was a young child, writing and reading have helped Mary through some very hard times in her life.
She sits outside surrounded by dead silence and memories
Sitting and watching the stillness of the night as she has so many times before
There is always so many thoughts that run through her mind
Her heart gets so heavy, as she stares into the darkness
Those secrets she keeps hidden begin to take over her body
Her life is so different now, but those demons always come back to haunt her
She just can't seem to escape the pain from her past
Something is always lurking underneath the surface
Waiting to crush every ounce of happiness that enters into her life
She often finds herself wishing she could scream out what happened to her
Every horrible nightmare that she can never forget
Then maybe, just maybe she could start the process to heal those wounds
Each year that passes takes another piece of her voice and what little dignity she has left
No matter how much time has gone by she still feels the hurt and sorrow
In this moment of silence she feels compelled to cry and grieve
She lets her sorrow flow into the night
For she knows this sadness will leave as soon as it has come
So with one last goodbye she closes her eyes and prays for peace once again
Then waits for the storm to pass and fade away into the stillness of the night
