Silence is golden
    Seen and not heard
    Silence, silence, silence
    The unnerving quiet of the roar in my head
    Nothing, and I set it against
    The silence of an afternoon spent in the sun
    Or dancing to the rainstorms
    And listen to the thunder of emotions
    Can you hear my scream for help?
    Or is it lost, like me
    In the horrid gap between my ears
    The bottomless pit
    Charybdis of the soul
    Needing so much, giving so little
    Nothing but pieces and fragments
    Nothing but nothing.
