Silence and Violence

I am sick and tired

Tired of the violence

I'm feeling less inspired

You've beaten me into silence


Behind my fear filled eyes

Lies a raging fire

Though I know there is no prize

My spirit never seems to tire


But I'm tired of the silence

It's eating me away

But I'm scared of the violence

It's leading me astray


Behind my trembling fingers

There is a wild typhoon

One string of hope still lingers

To pain, I am immune


But it's killing me, the silence

The uneasy quiet

But I don't want the violence

Can you withhold the riot?


Between shaky breaks

Comes out a weak shout

For the weary there is no rest

But we will make it out


It's haunting me, the silence

And your hateful stare

Just please withhold the violence

Just pretend that you care

I'm not sure what the point of this poem was tbh. 

Be proud. Be amazing. Be a hedgehog.
