Chapter #26 : Quiet Is Violent

~I ponder of something great

My lungs will fill and then deflate

They fill with fire

Exhale desire

I know it's dire

My time today

I have these thoughts

So often I ought

To replace that slot

With what I once bought

And now I just sit in silence

Sometimes quiet is violent

I find it hard to hide it

My pride is no longer inside

It's on my sleeve

My skin will scream

Reminding me of

Who I killed inside my dream

There's no hiding for me

I'm forced to deal with what I feel

There is no distraction to mask what is real

And now I just sit in silence

I ponder of something terrifying

'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind

I find over the course of our human existence

One thing consists of consistence

And it's that we're all battling fear

Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here

Oh my,

Too deep

Please stop thinking

There are things we can do

But from the things that work there are only two

And from the two that we choose to do

Peace will win

And fear will lose

There's faith and there's sleep

We need to pick one please because

Faith is to be awake

And to be awake is for us to think

And for us to think is to be alive

And I will try with every rhyme

To come across like I am dying

To let you know you need to try to think

And now I just sit in silence~

NICO POV

I paced my cabin with a frown. I've told myself multiple times that I was just over thinking things way too much, but I still couldn't help myself. It could mean nothing at all. Or it could mean something totally important and I'd just be too stupid to figure it out. I groaned and sat down after ten minutes of meaningless pacing. The locket lay beside me on my silky black comforter. Why in Hades was this thing around the manticore's neck? And what does any of this mean? Another sick joke of Aphrodite's, maybe?
