Don't speak

Take away the noise that grates on my nerves
Strip away the silence that taunts my mind
Untangle the fears strangling this heart
Erase the voices I do not want to hear
Dissolve this mysterious anger burning in me
I do not understand it
Cover me protect me
From them and from myself
Help me walk straight
As I grope blindly in this shroud of darkness that
consumes my thoughts
I don't want
to go any further
I can't afford
to spiral down this dark tunnel
Lift me up
and give me a way out
Now
