What Do You Do When It’s Quiet

Do you fear the quiet?

Does your mind daydream.

Do you dream of possibilities
Or are you chased by your fears?

Does the quiet push you into the darkness
Or do you embrace it in a symbiotic sway?

Does the lack of stimuli play havoc on our psyche
Or is it a welcome peace from the noise of life?

Do you flee from its presence, avoiding its grip
Or do you confidently walk toward its pull?

Does the calm incite anxiousness
Or do you bask in what could be?

Does the calm implode in self-perceived failure
Or does it offer reflection and growth?

Do you pursue the quiet
Or does the quiet pursue you?
