BREAKING THE QUIET



BREAKING THE QUIET

An eerie 
Mysterious 
Quiet
Envelopes 
Me.

I hear nothing 
Yet all
Is loud
And clear.

The unsaid
Words
Lay bare
At my
Feet...

I can
Pick them 
Up,
String them
Along
Making sense
Of the 
Silence.. 
But I am
Tired
I'd rather
Leave the
Words be.

I want
To shatter
The eerieness
With.
A song, a
Laugh
Anything 
As am
Fed up
Of it
Being.

I know not
Why
I remain
Quiet...
It's not 
That I'm 
Afraid...

I suppose
It's just
Weariness
That
Allows the
Quiet 
To stay.

I know
I'll break
It, though
It's only
A matter
Of time.

I shall
Shatter it
Like glass
With a
Scream
And a
Laugh!
