Silence

Nothing.
Empty.
Alone.
Dreadful silence fills this home.

It starts out innocent,
But it will build.
The pressure of nothing;
My sanity killed.

The impact of silence;
It continues to drone.
The impact of silence;
Truly, I am alone.

I fall to my knees,
All my strength drains
The quiet surrounds me,
It's screaming my name.

It's turning my body
Inside out;
My throat is burning,
I cannot shout.

Now the silence is broken,
But only in vain;
With cruel words and hatred
My rage will still gain.

People.
Monsters.
They torment my thoughts.
I'm biting my tongue,
I'm dodging their shots.

My temples are pounding,
This is not what I need.

I'm punching brick walls
And I won't pause to bleed.

They blame me;
Those voices,
When I don't speak.

They blame;
Those voices,
Even when I do.

They blame me, those voices;
Them;
You.

Yes, you blame me;
For the silence and all our pain,
You blame me,
Though you won’t listen
When I scream out your name.

So I’ll silence those words,
If it’s the last thing I do.
I’ll even bring an end to this silence;
And I’ll be the end of you.
