Silent.

February 28, 2015

The only time i get

stuff right is when 

I'm Silent

When i do my work

Silent

When i do my chores

Silent 

Even when I watch T.V.

I am Silent 

If i talk

the balance of my life

is currupted.

I can't do nothing 

unless I'm Silent

I can't get anything

right if I make a sound

Cause if I do 

I feel as if the police

are around

I can't say the right thing

to save my life

Cause when I talk

the response feels as if

I got stabbed by a knife

So I stay in Silence

until I know when its

Safe

But until that day I 

will be Silent as if my 

Mouth is wrapped with tape.
