*Silence*

  So.  As you can see, I started a new blog.  This one is just for my own writing that I don't want the public in general to be reading, since I'm a) not very good b) shy and c) still not sure how I feel about this whole thing. 
  The poem I'm putting on here today is one that I wrote for my creative arts project last semester and apparently she showed it to this semester's new class.  I had no idea. hahaha.  Anyway, hope you like it :) I'll probably usually put the poem title as the title of the blog, just so you know.

Sit in the silence, enveloped by darkness.

A stifling blanket of quiet surrounds.

Not a sound is heard, no whispers invade-

Screams echo silently in the mind.

The silence is deafening

Anxiety has ended, waiting is over.

Nothing remains but the bitter dregs of thought

that penetrate the thickest defenses.

The temptation to cry aloud is suppressed-

The silence is deafening

After trying so hard, your best, your all-

No words follow the closing of hinges,

only tortuous thoughts of anguish:

What if, maybe, if only…all empty.

The silence is deafening

No words can describe the pain.

No one can feel the ache left behind.

The incredible agony of hearing the words

unspoken, misery in every heartbeat.

Your silence is deafening
