Unspoken

Awake in a world that is asleep,

Always in a constant fluctuation of chaos,

My spirit seeks balance and peace.

 

Solitude has become my friend,

For the crowd that is riding the wave has unconsciously become my enemy,

Negativity is toxic.

 

My energy is prescious,

I must protect it,

Cherish it,

Everyone is not worthy.

Thank you Graham. I thought about adding another stanza that would add more clarity but the words just wouldn’t flow for me

Nicely written Gabrielle, suitably brief.
The last line seems out of place to me
and hard to understand compared to the rest.

Well done!
