The Gift Of Silence(Tw)





Silence is a priceless gift

I so rarely get to receive

The world is always too loud

The shouts never ending

Bullies never shutting up

Parents never satisfied

Friends just using me

Siblings with their bickering

Late at night is the only quiet

The world still moving

But not in the safety of my room

Still the dread creeps in

The knowledge nothing changes

A suffocating quiet

Never the silence I crave

In my room with that quiet

I need it to stop

For everything to just go away

Head spiraling out of control

Thoughts running free

The only escape a blade

For my arm to bleed

That’s when silence comes

And I can finally rest

Being at peace
