The Ghost Story of Silence

Have you ever felt choked

Choked by the words that you most desperately wanted to say

It should be so simple

Just unclench your teeth

Relax your lips

And allow your tongue to move

But you don't

And you won't

Because once those words are out there's no going back

All will be known

And you will be the cause of much pain suffering and confusion

So you just sit there

And remain silent

What else are you to do after all

So sit there

Let the pain of words unsaid drive itself in

Let the sorrow settle in your bones

For your name is Silence

And Pain is your father

And Sorrow your mother

The child of yells

The spawn of screams

Forever you will stay in the corner

Sitting down in silence

Feeling silent tears of blood run down your hallowed cheek face

Your heart beating against your ribs

Each beat saying the same thing

Speak

Speak

Speak

But you won't

Remain silent young weakling

Let guilt take away your hunger

Let the void in your soul starve you

Allow the screams in your head to slowly consume you

So you become engulfed in your own madness

For Silence is thee name

Pain thy father

Sorrow thy mother

Your teeth are welded together

Lips sewn shut

Tongue decayed from lack of use

For all of eternity you'll be enshrouded in silence

A ghost of a child that had no voice

A wandering specter whose wails are only heard by the wind

Such is the destiny of the child called Silence

Pain being its father

Sorrow its mother

Listen carefully and you can hear the silence that said more than words of the ear
