Without, Within

Without… within

Simple and benign… Dark and unrelenting
Never quite dissenting… Taking its own time
At peace, unperturbed… Looming in the shadows
Serene, at the window… Not to be disturbed
No cause to complain… Screaming from the void
Doesn’t get annoyed… An unacknowledged pain
Everybody's friend… Trauma, unresolved
Play the perfect role… A journey without end
