Analysis of Silence
Silence This silence is deafening, my mind hurts from all the noise. I reach for those that can hear me But their backs are turned and they Do not speak. Too afraid of the noises in their own heads and they say nothing and send silence. I cry, I plead and they answer I'm too deep. If only someone would speak! We could all quite those noises in our heads. But all that is sent is silence and It gets louder and louder until I Scream, help someone speak to me! But all I hear is silence and it is deafening And the noises in my head whisper then go deaf do not speak do not care do not feel do not live.
