The Silence
The silence is deafening.
No, not the tension in the room as people stop talking
but the sound
that not even headphones on full volume
kept in 'till your ears ring
can drown out.
I am a curious puppy,
stuck in a barbwire fence,
No one around to release me.
I am an innocent turtle
stuck in the binding of a net
all I want
is to break free and swim the way I am passionate about.
I am a lightning bug
trying my hardest to shine bright
to move up in the world
yet I am trapped.
The world is deceiving
The walls translucent,
as if you can escape.
But as you beat against the glass
you are stuck, without even your cape.
I can hear
but I cannot.
I can move
but I am stuck.
The roar of my thoughts present
but the sound so often
is white noise.
I am me,
and I am stuck in a world I dislike.
All I want is to be happy.
