Silence can be peaceful, but silence can also burn

The voices that talk, they sometimes seem to mourn

They give me advice on how to act

Be gentle, be quiet, they help me to adapt


Hear and obey will bring you huge grace

Even if you feel trapped in a maze

Say what they want to hear

It doesn't really matter what you really feel


Echo grows with the clutter in the halls

After all I try to stand up, however seem to fall

It's never good enough for them, whatever I do

Give up, it's not worth it, maybe I might have to


And after everything we did, we sore

They just turn their back on me, what for

Like fire around a field with ash and thorn around

From the center of the flames I watch the burning crowd

Story/POV: (This could be categorized as a vent poem.) You're a burnout gifted kid, it seems that anything you do satisfies people around you. You feel exhausted and worthless if you don't work 12 hours a day. It feels like a pandemonium, shattering finally to madness, the light of a flame illuminated the view of a new world, a better, warmer  world.
