    Silence in a crowded space

    A life for a life
    I was afraid once upon a time
    I ran and ran until I hit the edge
    The edge of the world, life and sanity
    Infinity stretched before me
    And I was alone
    More afraid than ever before
    So back I came
    Running with the shadows
    Falling, swimming and flying
    Back into the world of pain
    Cos here at least I’m in the know
    I know the measure of my pain
    I know the feel of my sorrow
    No one questions the smile
    Not like the void did
    No hollow echo of a laugh
    Just the silence found with many people

    This piece is awesome! It captures that pretend life we lead and the real life we are so afraid of.

    Very good Ophelia.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
