The Truth About Silence
What happens when
Silence
Consumes you?
When it leaves you
Without heart,
Without mind,
Without soul?
What happens when
Silence
Devours
Your every word,
Annihilating
Your entire life
In a few short months?
What happens when
Silence
Makes it hard to speak?
Makes you lose
Your friends,
Your family,
Your life?
What happens when
The monster that is
Silence,
Takes away
Your everything,
Because of
So many words unsaid?
What happens when
Silence
Rips a hole in your chest,
And clouds your mind,
And tells you
The most believable
Lies?
What happens when
Silence
Takes over your whole
Self,
Inside and out?
You die.

Silence is golden but it is acquiesing too. This makes me think.

I can identify with this poem. I am the silent type. My dad talks more eloquently. I am satisfied with writing and expressing myself. I wish I was more vocal but I am not.

hi! i. looks like this poem was written under a lot of emotional upheaval. communication is a means to form relationships and if one reamins silent, as u sau, it can kill. it is a very reflective poem and gives a lot to think. u've given the voice to silence. lol. ;-)
