If Actions Speak Louder Than Words

If actions speak louder than words,

Then the quieter I get

the louder I become.

 

Soon I'll be screaming

 

At the bottom of my lungs.

 

Until even my whisper deafens.

 

With the wave of my hand,

I'll be louder than a freight train.

 

Every step I take,

Will sound like a stampede.

 

The further I go,

The closer it will seem.

 

Maybe then,

When each step shakes the pictures from your walls,

Every look left and then right rips the door from the frame you're standing under,

And my deepest breath blows the whole house down

 

You'll hear me.
