You have to remember that
not all silences are scary.
That they don’t always mean the end
of a story,
of a show,
of a conversation.
Sometimes, they’re just a pause.
An intermission.
A time for you to gather your wits, your strength,
to get your heart ready for the next part.
Maybe sometimes they mean more than a little pause.
Maybe it’s a time to get your heart and mind focused again.
Or maybe it’s just a time to sit still.
You need to stop being afraid of these silences.
You need to realize
how some of the best things can come out of these silences.
That this silence can be beautiful,
if you let it.
You need to fight
against these voices in your head
that urge you to make noise.
Sit and revel in this silence.
And believe that this is good.
You have to remember that
not all silences are scary.
