Many people know different types of silence

For some silence rolls and crashes onto them like waves

Muting the world around them

It's funny how silence works

Once it's really thought about

Silence can help some people forget about their problems

It can bring them peace

For others silence makes them remember their insecurities more

Making them feel even more alone

If someone is in silence for too long their life could be engulfed by it

Too much time is spent waiting for someone

Anyone

To hold their hand

To guide them through their silence

But no one came

If enough time is taken to look around

Silence is everywhere

It surrounds

Waiting for the perfect time to strike

Sometimes it doesn't even strike

But people get hurt anyways

Look at the people around

Sitting near

They could still be sitting in silence

Still waiting
