The leisure of speaking

Sometimes saying nothing at all
Is really what causes a
fall.
     Because when you're quiet nobody
knows you're near.
     When you're near you fear
But is your fear really dear?

Fear of speaking,
fear of people
It may be in your nature
But come out of your shell
And smell the air,
Or maybe not,
The pollution is hard to bare.

Maybe we shouldn't speak?
Then there'll be no trouble,
No arguing,
No disputes.

Sometimes its better to keep your mouth shut.
Nobody notices you when your quiet.
They think you're shy,
when in reality you just want to die.

Maybe we should die,
    Hey,
maybe I should give it a try!

All that's left for me to ever say is,
Goodbye.
