Sound of silence

“Silence is like a cancer growth” There is an amazing sense of peace in silence. And when someone like me says it – it means a lot. I usually talk a lot. I talk to express love, hatred, friendship, happiness, sadness, I talk for fun and I talk so people have fun. But off late there has been a sense of silence that creeps in within me and I feel good about it. I suddenly feel like I do not need to communicate to the world. I don’t want to express. I want to express to myself and just talk to myself. I want to live within myself and just be quiet. Maybe a lot of us experience this. Maybe it’s when we want to sit back and think of how the life that has gone by has been, we are just quiet. Sometimes we just close up and feel like letting the world walk by. Like just let people do their own thing and just let us be. Am not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. My mother gets scared with my silence as she is not used to seeing me silent! But sometimes I just love it and feel its amazing to not talk and still be able to communicate to the world around.This is a piece not written under any drugs! It’s a feeling that I go through often these days and was wondering if other also at any point experienced it! Let me know
