Description
Silence;A clear state of mind
That depicts all my dreams simultaneously
Keeping back the thoughts that plague
So I can think clearly - my thoughts fade.
Why is it that noise causes chaos
And silence only comes when you turn the switch off?
We sit and think, sit and look
But how successful are we really?
People look for peace and find
This fake reality
They search for happiness in places it doesn't exist,
But alluded to amongst our depicted words.
Through a false, gilded serenity,
We hold each other close
Attempting to re-create a silence
That still doesn't exist:
Determine your own solution
Stop asking me for mine
For I will find a way to clear my thoughts again
Then you'll understand how it's been
Silence shows you the subconscious of reality
In a way unknown to most
But when you find a medium between care and apathy
You find a perfection and equilibrium.

This one is really really difficult... I'm starting to get glimpses of images but... I don't think I've got all the meanings inside.

I might know what you're saying
I think that you are trying to find, or trying to express enlightenment in a very negative way though.
Yes, the truth is that people look for excuses or a kind of loophole which will lead them to happiness, half of the time anyway
but does that mean that it's necessarily fake?
Happiness is out there which you are writting off as not existing.
I agree that people go about it wrong; lying to themselves to justify an action or a decision, thus giving themselves a piece of mind.
Also, I think you are tying to say alot of people are idiots, wanting to live in their idiotic fantasy worlds together and that you dont want any part of it.
Finding a balance between choosing what is important to care about and what to let go is important; i think thats what the last line meant, (yes or no?). I think you should let this poem go. It just sounds like venting.
Please, dont be insulted. I just said what I think. I'm sorry if I was way off. I just wanted to understand your poem. Was I anywhere close?

It didn't stand out to me in any way it seems...
That isn't good or bad it's quite the neutral. It just reads like words to me, if that makes any sense. o.O

Hmm... I see what you meant with your poetry in your journal... Maybe you should experiment a ton and see if you can find a style to work with your new outlook? Still a really good poem though! And you should do whatever you feel like doing.
