No voices filling up the room
Just the hum of afternoon
Every thought I used to fight
Lost its edge inside the light
I didn’t brace for anything
Nothing came to pull me in
Nothing hurt in the quiet
No sharp words, no regrets
I didn’t need to deny it
I just finally let it rest
Nothing hurt in the quiet
Coffee cooling by my side
Time forgot the need to run
Every fear that held me tight
Slowly loosened, one by one
I wasn’t waiting for relief
It found me quietly
Nothing hurt in the quiet
No demands, no defense
All the weight I carried
Didn’t matter in the end
Nothing hurt in the quiet
If peace doesn’t make a sound
Maybe this is how it’s found
Not in answers, not in choice
Just the absence of a voice
Nothing hurt in the quiet
When I stopped holding on
In the stillness, I realized
I’d been safe all along
Nothing hurt in the quiet
Mmm…
The quiet
