The Quiet Thought by walking shadow poetry.

It’s late, and the silence is loud,
I’m here, lying still, but my mind, it’s a crowd.
I’ve thought about it, more than I should,
What if I just… stopped? Would that be good?

I lost my parent, and with them, my light,
Now I’m alone, nothing feels right.
The pain doesn’t leave, it just sits in my chest,
Maybe leaving would let me finally rest.

Then there’s the cheating I can’t take it back,
I broke the one heart that had my back.
I ruined everything, tore it all apart,
And now I carry this guilt, heavy on my heart.

The job? It’s gone, just like that,
Like I’m nothing, no worth, no path.
I try to keep moving, but I’m stuck in place,
Wondering how I fell so far from grace.

And the friend I trusted, the one who knew,
They took my secrets and let them loose.
Now I’ve got no one, just me and my mind,
And I wonder if maybe it’s time to leave it behind.

I think about it when I’m alone,
When the pain feels too real, too much my own.
Would it hurt less if I just disappeared?
Would they even notice I’m no longer here?

It’s a quiet thought, one I don’t share,
But it’s there, always there, like a whisper in the air.
What if I let go? What if I gave in?
Would it be better if I didn’t begin again?

Maybe the pain would finally end,
Maybe I wouldn’t have to pretend.
I’m tired, so tired of being strong,
Tired of living when it all feels wrong.

But then I pause, and just breathe in,
Still caught between wanting to stay and wanting to give in.
I don’t know what will happen next,
But tonight, I’m here, even though I feel wrecked.

It’s a thought I hold, one I can’t deny,
But for now, I just sigh and let the moment pass by.
Still, I wonder, quietly, softly,
Would it be easier, if I just… stopped?
