Silence
You deafen me.
I sit and wait for a simple question...
A question of concern.
Yet you keep their mouth's shut,
Opposing their hearts to empathy.
I searched for acceptance
But you barred me from saying anything.
To anyone.
You exact fear upon me
That I never knew existed.
I want to be rid of you.
But I fear that you will kill me
Before I can flee.
I try to run to people for help
But I bounce off them like an elastic rubber band.
I cry for help.
I scream in terror.
Trying to make them understand
How alone I am.
But only you are left stalking me.
Hunting me.
Chasing me.
Until finally, a voice calls over me
And commands you, "Go away!"
I look up to see my Saviour's face.
He was cradling me in His arms.
Who could know, in a world
Thought to be so loud,
Could be so silent?
And that a still small voice
Could make even the most prideful, powerful of enemies
Tremble with fear
And flee like a coward.
