Dead Sound
Silence so loud it screams in your ear
Ringing inside your head like a never-ending screech
Echoing through the mountains of your mind
Muting the outside
Left alone inside your own mind
A fog as a barrier between you and me
Blurry like ripples on water
Disorienting
Isolating
You try to scream
You try to yell
You try to fight against the current
That is drowning your vioice
But you can't
The silence pulls you down
Muffles your thoughts
Carries you away from the land of peace
And now you are lost at the sea of dead sound
Where you are alone
And no one understands what it's like to be
Disconnected from society
You think you are alone
You think no one could ever reach you
And rescue you from the thrashes of your thoughts
Maybe you are right
The silence will forever push you inside
