Silence...

[Anthony]

Have you ever heard quiet so loud it is deafening? Have you sat in this dark silence as painful inner screams deafen your own thoughts? This silence is the silence that it needs to be expressed. The feeling that only you care about and what the silence offers and speaks of. That low ringing that builds and builds to audible sounds of things keeping you up at night. When you close your eyes, the sounds grow images, showing a film of what your inner self believes.

Ones mind is a powerful and deadly weapon, capable of destroying and decaying the originator. A small negative thought coming to fruition and consuming ones being. It is easy to become dark and lost in this silence, easy to succumb to the comforts you build in your own self loathing. If only the good and bright shined as bright as that of the dark. Your mind feeds into the darkness... only if you let it.

Bright and blinding silence, that wake you up, snap you out of it. The brightness that overwhelms your eyes as you keep your eyes closed tight, makes you see, forces you to see. You never know what you are looking for, but you search. This search redirects the negative to find the positive. Your mind becomes clear as the search brings to light other important aspects. Friends, accomplishments, hard work, and most importantly, Love.

It is not romantic or sexual, but a warming feeling of love. The love for new friends, the feeling of completing an accomplishment and the satisfaction of the reward of hard work. The silence is not always that of doom and despair, it can be the opposite. Your mind is yours, your inner self is you, remember that. Remember the only one that has control of your darkness is yourself. Never give the power to those that force you into darkness, that is a path of their own destruction, not your own.

Is it bad to be selfish? Is it bad to look after yourself? Never. Self care and self preservation is what entices your inner ability to accomplish the impossible. Conquer addiction, conquer your body, conquer knowledge and prosper. Your mind is an incredible motivator and that in it self is the only motivation you need. With all this comes confidence. The confidence to smash through the wall. The confidence that allows you to love yourself more then anyone ever could.

Confidence, love and your mind are the start to a new day, a day that you decide is good or bad. A magnet for those around you to be drawn into and inspire to be as good as you. In most cases, try and be better then you. Let them, build them and encourage them to be better. Share your darkness and your inner silence, together the light will extinguish and bring to light the positivism. Share and make the light brighter.

Be silent no more.
