Silence
My lips are open, but I cannot speak.
My tongue is numb, my lips are weak.
So still in silence, here I sit.
Harassed by the ever present IT.
He watches me, as I walk by
I think I’m okay, but I know that’s a lie.
As long as he’s watching, I can’t say a word
I wish I could fly away like a bird.
They all had the sense to turn and flee
But my life has collapsed, I’m stuck in the debris
So stuck here in the rubble, I try to live
No kindness or understanding are they willing to give.
So secluded and alone in a closet off the hall
I hide, as the lockers all slam, shaking the walls.
I hope he won’t find me, in my sanctuary here
Maybe someday my worries will just disappear,
But for now I still hide, mute and alone
As I try to find a place to call home.
