What kills the soul?
Can we kill our soul?
Can we cause our soul to accept a fate that can be prevented by disturbing the quiet?
Self loathing; wallowing in our despair; holding inside our anger and grief; all the right ways to kill your soul. Your soul is meant to be free. To vocalize it’s presence through actions and words. Communication is the only thing I know that can heal, strengthen and revive a soul.
Write, talk, sing, or cry. Don’t let your silence kill your soul.

Dies the Soul
In the stillness of the quiet
The soul screams loudest
From its prison echoes cries
Calling to that which was lost
Chained to stone, so cold
Stealing the warmth, once held
Rusted locks break all keys
No escaping, no ears for pleas
Tortured soul, all alone
Imprisoned internally by self
Thoughts never spoken
Words never heard
In the stillness of the quiet
Dies the soul
