Mute

How long can I go

without saying

a single word?

 

Will my mind begin 

to collapse like 

a house of cards?

 

Will silence cause

my head to implode,

fold in like 

a bad hand at poker?

 

I wish I never

had to speak again,

and I could live

in a mute state. 

 

I could live

like I was comatose,

barely conscious

sleeping the days away.

 

Or better even

if I could stop living.

Death would be a relief;

it is a welcome solution.
