silent
wont talk
she just nods
scared to speak up
she wants to be heard
but knows nobodys ever truly listening
she tries to trust but shes struggling
The definition of fear is subjective but usually can be followed along simmilar lines
Like a huge graph where everyone's lines cross with eachother through to infinity
But not all fear is the same
It can catch you off guard,
as it wispers its dark plans into your ear.
Its voice sweet as syrup drugs your conscience,
making you unaware of the threat it poses.
Yet it can also bring blissful relief.
My silence
doesn't mean I'm dumb
Or that I'm not listening
It means I'm scared
Scared to say what I'm thinking
Afraid that to you it might be wrong
Or that my thoughts are stupid
If I spoke in lines of poetry, it would be broken
Every line seperate from the rest
My words would fall disconnected
You would not be able to make sense of it
I'm usually not one to break the ice.
I'm the type to stare past you while thinking of everything we could do together.
You may never know the thoughts that run through my mind.
My body may be pure,
Is world peace
Fought with a loaded piece
Am I supposed to live at ease
I’m asking the higher priest
but he aint got the answers
Bump….bump……bump bump……….bump…
Silence.
While I lie in bed with my tear soaked face, that’s all I hear on the other end of the phone.
Silence.
.......Silence it drags on it heavy opressive like a giant cloak covering everything in sight
