Welcome to the slience
My room says
As I sit in darkness
Welcome to the silence
The air whispers
As I walk down the school hallways
Welcome to the silence
The devil on my shoulder snarls
As I hammer myself
Into my school work
Trying not to think
Trying not to worry
Welcome to the silence
He says
As he shuts me out forever
I'll never hear his voice again
Welcome to the silence
The wind screams as it zips past
My rolled-down car window as I look
At the mountains I can no longer call home
Welcome to the silence
Says the grip of the hug
Between my best friend and I right before
I leave for a long time
Welcome to the silence
The front door of my school snickers
As I walk into another terrible day
Welcome to the silence
The world yells
It's constant surrounding stimulance chatters
As I fall into a pit of lonliness
A pit of darkness
A pit of deafening quiet
That no one sees
That no one understands
Where the words
Of anyone who
Ever tried to help
Are muted
And I can hear nothing but my own thoughts
As they consume me
I stare at myself
In the dirty mirror
"Welcome to the silence."
