not good english here, translated it from norwegian. help me make it better! :P
Insecurity, safety, alone, angst. You name it. But yet again, I know the english is baaaad here. I'm sorry for that!



The Silence

Silence, but a good silence.
Not a painfull silence,
you are not alone, you are safe,
there is someone here.

The chair creaks when he moves.
The papers flaps when he is looking in them.
The keyboard makes sounds all the time,
he press on them.

All these sounds,
signs for safety.
A stranger gives you more security
than your mother and father ever gave you.

Again I feel a connection with these words - I'm surprised that you haven't had any other comments as well.

Your English is in fact very good considering it is not your first language. There are a few minor errors but they do not harm the feeling and idea of the text.

I am grateful that you have shared your thoughts through writing, which means, there is no need to be sorry. : )
