Silence
March 18, 2017
Shh!
Quiet time!
Nobody make a sound
Or you will be punished.
Shh! Do you hear that?
The sound of my silence,
The deafening silence
That pleads for help.
Do you hear the claws
Scratching at the walls of my heart
That pleads to escape?
If you do, you know
I am never
Silent.

This is great! Showing people how people are truly never quiet. I'm going to use this on someone in my class.
I wrote this in blue market at a phsycatric hospital. I was there for suicidal attempts. I'm okay now though, I guess.
