deafening but the resilience is humanly absent

chasms are wide open but the sound of silence
seeped through surreptitiously invisible to view
deafening but the resilience is humanly absent
opening up is so complicating to a chosen few

when one is saddled with self-made inhibitions
the journey does not seem to come to an end
it progresses on its own steam unconcerned
perhaps to eventually extinguish with a bang

why it must be playing games with our resolve
tickling our conscience to impose guilt feelings
that it should meekly seek to innocently dissolve
when one gives in knocked down hard reeling 

Dwight's at d'Verse the sounds of silence

  3. Yes indeed Hank, silence is a safe place for the human soul. It take a quality of dare and trust to open up and to sharing. Your poem images this vividly.
    Happy you dropped by my blog

    Much💟love

  7. A great poem. Self-made inhibitions are very hard to overcome. They tend to overpower ambition and hold us down, silently tell us we are not enough. You have explained it very well.

  11. I think for some their silence is not a choice.. it's how they are... we just have to let them in sometimes.

  12. Agree with you.
    So true- "saddled with self-made inhibitions".
    Wish we can "innocently dissolve" what we don't want/like!
