SILENCE
And suddenly everything went quiet,
not the silence i was used to hear,
but that loud silence that makes you afraid to live,
that silence that makes you hear voices that you have never heard before.
A silence that made me afraid of thinking into what we cannot think,
a silence that made me afraid of me.
honestly, I've been missing silence,
my head hurts thanks to the uninvited voices in my head,
now silent rooms don't work for me,
my head is louder than a lighting on a field.
music, makes me forget real life,
I'm scared though of forgetting what living feels like.
noise in my head, calms me quick,
voices in my head, go away please
i just wish my mind could disappear.
i wish I could sleep without feeling my heartbeat,
i wish I could step out of them for one day,
but they're so many voices and I am my own slave.
