Safe Once More

The silence holds you still, it keeps you safe. Words echoing within the confounds of your mind. You lay down to keep breathing. You fall down to keep your heart beating. Standing up, you find yourself moving slowly. Traces of yesterday's mistakes trickle through the cracks below your feet. Nice and neatly you fold the pages of the notes you wrote yourself in somber thoughts. Floating above yourself, watching yourself try to step out of the hole you dug up. You retreat to the back if your mind and the silence keeps you safe once more.
