Unspoken - Silent - What Does The Silence Do To Our Mind? How Can We Break The Cycle?

The Unspoken Truth - The silence that sits inside our soul can be deadly in so many ways. How do we break free --
Break the silence -- Break the Cycle

THE UNSPOKEN
Quietly sitting in a simple state of being…
One would look over and see peace and tranquility…
What is really going on in her head – the thoughts that ponder
Silently...
Strong and sleek on the outside never cracking at the strongest of
Storms but internally she brews as the memories swirl in a tornado
Of emotion...
Who would know the tale that is untold as this horror show flashes
In the darkened corners of the brain silently waiting to rear its ugly
Head releasing its hideous taste raw to the tongue burning with desire
Ready to lash out taking control of all that is good.
Waiting for the moment to pounce blasting out of control rage to
The maximum strength beyond the speed of sound.
Yes, the sound of silence oh so serene but not really... The unspoken
Words that cannot make it past the mind so twisted and complex...
The unspoken shame that will not unleash the pain as the words will
Burn thy ears.
Unspoken, silently damaging the soul trapped in this labyrinth of pain bouncing off the walls of the brain consuming every ounce of sanity. YES, the unspoken truth…
At its worst seeping, creeping, sly as a fox managing to take control of everything until there is nothing left but a dark soul lost, hoping to be found...
Carrying on through life feeling lost inside the thoughts of your mind never really living, engaging in life – the only truth that you feel is the past rain, that continual storm playing on repeat as the water pounds the walls over and over again breaking it apart piece by piece the erosion of life…
When will the sun appear? Will it ever make it past those deep dark walls of
Defeat?
How do we go from unspoken to healed, when do we get to break free of this
Silent world of misery... who will hear my voice? Hello, is there anyone in there?
Hello, is there anyone listening to my voiceless cries for help. Who will be the one with the magic key that will finally set me free to speak the words I am so terrified to let roll from my lips...
I scream and shout in the madness of my inner thoughts, reaching for my moment as I crawl up that endless wall... Do they see me? The real Me?
The struggle, the climb, the endless journey to hopeful freedom... Will my road find light, can I be set free as the words burn my throat as they make their way to fresh air, ridding the stench of abuse, trauma and pain...
The volcano erupts, and the words are spewing one by one in large waves of lava
Pouring out of my soul releasing it all once and for all… As the ashes subside and the embers of pain slowly die I am renewed as light peeks through the cracks that were hardened for what felt like an eternity... Now I feel free released from my cocoon of silent hell that will be no more! Today I take a stand I have raised my voice and there will be no more UNSPOKEN TRUTH…
