Original poem by ShannonZombie

I've once heard that silence can be deadly.

That it can be as loud as noise itself.

It kills me ever so slowly.

Not a single noise to be heard.

To feel the sound of blood rushing through my skull.

To feel the ringing in my ears.

It can drive a person to their limit.

To where it is loud enough to actually hurt.

It is the sound of when you're at your breaking point

It was sign that everything was not alright.

It was a cry for help.

The sound of silence, was a sound no one heard.

The sound of silence, is now the only sound I'll ever make.
