Silence!
For when it's too loud inside you.
There’s a whisper in me;
Shivers through my blood.
I’ve a whisper in the body,
Sometimes it’s a flood.
.
There’s a cry in my belly;
A twist, a wrench, a pound.
I have a cry in that body,
Begging to be found.
.
There’s a groan in my lungs;
It whimpers if I breathe.
Stuck, compressed, wrung;
All it wants is peace.
.
There’s a voice in my head,
I want to bang, I want dead.
Obscurity and incoherence...
Please, give me silence!

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
