Shattered silence

O listen to the silence

So gentle everywhere

Hear it,

Quite, whispering

Yet softly through the air

Silence bathes the soul

As calm serenity

Speaking to the heart

To sooth and comfort me

And in that silence

I finally realized

That silence is hidden deep inside

silence that speaks louder than words

So nobody can see how much it hurts

My voice is buried deep inside the dirt

Now my heart and soul are on high alert

Suffering in silence

cut off from the outside in

I can’t escape my fear

Of sorrow, pain and tears

silence that speaks louder than words

So nobody can see how much it hurts

My voice is buried deep inside the dirt

Now my heart and soul are on high alert

My demons whisper

Let us prevail

How can I stand firm and never fail

Put on my armor

Do disarm her

Hush be quite

silence that speaks louder than words

So nobody can see how much it hurts

My voice is buried deep inside the dirt

Now my heart and soul are on high alert

I can’t cry

I can’t scream

Is this real

Or just a dream
