Silence


Silence

Shut the lips.
Don't speak.
No one listens.
They never do anyway.
I wonder if you don't speak,
if you will forget how to talk.
Forget how to yell.
Forget how to scream.
No.
Nothing like that could ever happen.
So for now just seal the lips.
Ignore everyone.
It's not like they cared anyway.
No one ever cares.
