Silence overtakes me

It bends my words, it bends my choices

Silence rules my life

In the attempt to destroy it

 

Silence is my own deathly killer

It stalks me like prey to be devoured

Silence is the burden I’m forced to carry

And it laughs in my face, knowing I am simply overpowered

 

Silence makes me invisible

It bends and breaks me long enough so that I just disappear

Silence shields my cries

Preventing me from moving on, it interferes

 

Silence is my destroyer

The longer it’s there, the more I blend into the background

Silence hollows me

And suddenly, what I want, and feel, are bound

 

This silence

Forced on me

How do I get rid

Of this silence?
