What is silence? When there is no noise, there is still a ring. Silence does not exist. In the quietest room, you can still hear noise. Silence is the loudest audio, but cannot be heard. It is the loudest scream, that is inaudible. It can mean so many words, while a single letter does not escape the lips of the frightened. The sound of silence fills a room of quiet screams.
Heartbreak is a silent, yet ear piercing noise. You cannot visually see, but can painfully feel. The pain someone will feel from this is real, though you cannot see or hear it. They may be quiet, when inside they are falling apart. Their own inner being, crashing and burning, but without a sound. You never know what's happening inside, until you fall apart yourself.
Having your mouth glued shut by the watchful eyes of your peers. Feeling your voice slowly slipping away as you too fall down the rabbit hole. Wishing you could scream, to make it all disappear, but nothing but the bitter realization of sadness comes out. The frightening sound of silence rings in your ears as you slide, defeated, to the bathroom floor.

Thank you.
