silence..

eerily quiet 
wasn't prepared for the sounds that dissipated 
searching high and wide 
for any familiarity 
to keep me grounded
trying to remain true to myself..
what is truth ?
can it be found 
when all that fills me are covered in lies .. 
I will rise 
not to be held down..
in this empty space I find myself 
I hear my thoughts 
I feel my emotions
the present moment never more clear
as I draw near to the silence I feared..
