Silence

The air is thick with silence An empty desk, an empty page Those ideas filled with promise Have yet to be displayed She questions all she knows And she can’t put it into words Enjoying noiseless quiet She lets her mind unfurl She is one with the silence As she stares into the night She’s at a loss for words Overwhelmed with love of life In this comfortable, beautiful silence She finds peaceful solitude But who would ever understand Her silent point of view Quiet, boring, awkward girl As others like to say Weird, mysterious, confusing girl Another common phrase They don’t care if she’s happy Just staring at the clouds They’re in a different galaxy Looking down, looking down She wants to be alone Wishes for them all to leave They’re changing her friend Silence Transforming how it feels What was once her friend Is now a scarring enemy But alas, she knows no other way No other way to be Silence is her shadow Both a blessing and a curse Must she shed the skin of silence In our judgmental universe
