I wish silence was a person
It had voice
And a language
I would shun my own
And adopt hers
I would renounce my all
To talk to her once
I would ask her
Why did she grip me
Grip me so hard
That it turned me white
Bloodless
Curled and closed my tongue
And stitched my lips
With barbed wires
And waited
Until I gave up
On the last flickering hope
Of survival
Until I was nothing
But a carcass
With hollow eyes
Stitched mouth
Lying lifeless
In her firm icy embrace
Like a dry deserted bone
On a wrecked land
And then I would lash out
And confront her
For her evil ploy
As at that moment
I wanted to mourn
To lament
I want to cry
Even if from one eye
I wanted to let out that pain
That she incarcerated inside me..forever..

I hope seeds that are slipping out of my pockets are actually viable. Some days you try hard some days you let your life lose completely.
