IN SILENCE
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
Sitting in silence
Feeling dizzy, can’t balance
Kind of in shock
Cold to the bone
An yet to touch, I’m hot
In my own zone
My ears have popped
Time stands still
Can’t explain, just stopped
As if I’ve taken a pill
Numb, pain has been killed
My heart just about beats
My joints creak
I cannot speak
The air is thin
How do I communicate
Where do I begin?
Do I just wait?
Thoughts are smothered deep within
Will this feeling pass?
How long will it last?
A memory I have been here before
Same person, same door
Same walls, same floor
Were they telling me the truth?
I’m lost
No home no roof
Out in the frost
But only in my brain
As I have no pain
The blood rushes
through my veins
And scars disappear from tightened chains
Cuts heal
Is this real?
No more bruises
That life, no one chooses
It’s gone now forever
And won’t return
No more flames
To cause that burn
A lesson to learn
To be strong, firm
Sitting here in silence
A future free of violence
