Silence

The largest blanket.
It can smother a person,
their whole life it seems.
Even the loud without sound.
Mute inside, silent.
Silence that kills our dreams.

Even while I'm bleeding through.
Even while crying, can't let it show.
I never make a sound.
Speaking to no one, falling in.
No one listens.
Truth cannot be found.

I wish to come from this.
This alternate world where no one understands.
I want you to hold me now.
Bright light, burn this cock-eyed dark.
Let me see again, breath.
But loss of all hearing, still foul.

One day you'll listen.
Hear me, hit with the truth.
Maybe you'll wake up for once.
Maybe the deaf will cut the silence.
Maybe we are deaf because we cannot handle the words.
Cutting down silence, subduding a bunch.
