I was never one who liked silence
I'm not particularly sure why
Maybe it reminds me of childhood
Where cries were ignored

Maybe it's because of the voices
That keep rolling around
“Be quiet!” I tell them
But they increase their sound

Piercing through my heart like a dagger blade
It carves my heart to this very day
The silence deafening over me
Until the day it becomes sweet

The silence inside me
I'd rather not keep
