Silencing the Noise

It used to be so loud.

All the noise inside my head.

The darkness was overwhelming.

Birdie silences the noise.

Birdie keeps me where the light is.

With Birdie’s help I have peaceful moments and can live in the present.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Maybe I am that light, illuminating the darkness around me.

Illuminating others. Illuminating myself.

The noise comes and goes now.

I only experience flashes of darkness. Moments of pain. But a lifetime of joy, love and light.

It used to be so dark.

SO much sorrow. SO much hurt. SO much negativity.

SO much hopelessness.

I have found light at the end of the tunnel.

I am out of that black hole.

I have hope, some that I borrowed from others.

I have love for myself because others loved me until I could love myself.

The noise is silent.

I have found peace. I have found family.

I have found myself.
