WRITING OBSTACLE
How would you describe silence?
Think about which senses you can use to describe the sound, and feeling, of silence.
Silence
It is one of the few things that can’t be heard
Only seen
You only see it when you look
Sometimes you won’t look
It will find you
It can be painful
But can be good
Silence can bring peace
Or destruction
When silence overcomes you it’s like a trap
You can’t use your voice
Or make any sort of noise
You can’t only use actions
To beg for help
If you try to use words
They get caught in your throat
Like they get shoved in a box
Locked unlike pandoras
You have to fight with all you have so not to get caught
If you get caught in the trap
It’s like quicksand
If you try to get out quickly
It sucks you down
Further
And Longer
Patience is needed when it comes to silence
If you are impatient
It will seem to last longer
Silence is always bad
Sometimes it provides comfort to those who need to heal
