Did you creep out, before it got quiet?

Did you know, that the noise in the room was not as loud as the silence?

And have you concluded that silence is violent,
that it speaks of our failures and when we're defiant?

That it makes us feel like we are miniscule as opposed to giant,
and that when it occurs, on our own minds we must not be reliant,
for it will be what is being consumed, in the moments of silence.
