In The Silence: A Short Poem

I tried to find it in the bottle

but you were never there.

I tried to find it in those joints

but then I never cared.

I tried to find it from my girlfriend

but I was left alone.

I thought I saw it on the tv

but I was really stoned.

I found it in the silence

When the chaos was all done.

I found it in my weakness

When the highs had up n' run.

I found it in the broken

Who had no other home.

I found it in myself

When everything was gone.
