Whisper of Silence |✓

Stroke Of Midnight

The clock struck twelve, it's time to go,
To end this night of magic and all that I know
It's time to start fresh, begin something new,
Leave the past behind and make my way through

I had my share of lavish ball gowns,
Slippers made of glass and bejeweled crowns
But my night of being a princess has come to an end,
And it's time for me as queen to begin

It started out on the battlefield when he left me,
But it was only later that I realized it set me free
Surrounded by the whispers of silence,
Which drained out all the fear and all the violence

Watching it fade away with time,
Getting past the sins, the wasted crimes
A seed becoming a plant, watching it grow,
Slowly emerges the petals, with the years you'll know

Some day I'll live my fairytale,
I'll have my red roses and elegant white veil
I'll have a man who loves me for me,
And I won't change for anyone, the same I will be

This queen doesn't need a king to rule,
I might meet him some day but I'm not a fool
I won't go believing that I need him by my side,
I don't need a man to be happy, I don't need one to confide

Life is like a game of tag,
When you're caught it's time to catch
With a touch the burden is on you,
But in the next second you'll tag someone too

That is merely what I'm trying to do,
Start a new story, a new life too
I'll broaden my spectrum, change up the game plan,
Play by my rules and do what I can

I won't believe in stereotypes, I won't listen to the world,
I'll look into the mirror and see the same girl
I'll wipe away my tears and comb out my hair,
I'll walk out like nothing's happened, I wouldn't care

I've faced the torment, I've faced my fears,
I've faced all the lies and the broken tears
I've been tossed, jostled, played around,
I've been broken, lost and found

This crazy Brunette will make it far,
I won't end this here, there's loads in my heart
The words won't leave me, all that I've said
I can't stop the current as it rushes ahead

This was a journey, I'm never to forget,
As ditsy as I am, Little Miss Brunette
The memories will trail no matter how far I go,
They follow me everywhere, that I know

We were stars, together a constellation,
But now I lay in contemplation
I loved you once and I'll love you again,
But this time I'll love you as my best friend

I met new faces, heard new words,
Never again was I that innocent little girl
I went through phases where I wanted to give up,
I wanted to leave, break and erupt

But I found my lighthouse and I know you will too,
I hunted for my happiness and no longer stayed blue
I found my comfort object, I learnt to stay sane,
I learnt to think positive and endured the pain

Now it's time to accept my fate,
Leave behind the past and a new path I'll take
I'll smile and wave and never tumble down,
I'll accept my position and wear my crown

The clock struck twelve and Cinderella has to leave,
To continue her journey and make memories
I'll move on with my stories and maintain compliance,
But this isn't the end to my Whisper of Silence.

Dear Reader,

I can't stop thanking you for all your time invested in reading my book.
Thank you for putting up with my rapid updates and extreme notification bursts, thank you for dealing with my eccentric mood swings and my random poems.

Thank you for standing by me when I thought I had noone.
Thank you for being you.

Whisper of Silence started out by just being 'the sequel to 'Better Left Unsaid', but it was only midway through the book that I realized it was so much more than that.
It had its own set of emotions, its own set of phrases and words all jumbled up in its own unique way. It helped me go through my life with a more tranquil approach and understand my way of thinking a lot better.

I'm glad you all took the time to read the canvas of my mind and add in your own little paint splotches to make it ours.

WOS isn't just my book. It's all of ours. Without you, I never would've been able to get past the first few poems and work my way up till the very end. Thank you for supporting me in your own little ways. Your positive comments and votes never failed to make me smile and this has been one of the happiest two months of my life.

Like I said before, this isn't the end. Via will be back with her poetry!
As of this moment I am writing my first Teen Fiction book, titled Suspended at the brink of madness, which has its own little excerpts of poetry. Plus if you haven't checked out my first book, Better Left Unsaid, there are some more crazy poems out there!
I haven't yet thought about writing another poetry book, but I'll get there soon. Don't worry, this is just the end of one story. But one story doesn't make up a lifetime, does it?

Now, before I burst into tears, I just want to thank you all once again for all the love and support, and I really hope to be hearing from you all soon. (Okay, too late, here come the tears).

Goodbye.

Love,
Olivia ❤
