A/N: Sorry, I know it's been a while. I'm still writing, but it hasn't been things that I wanted to share. I finally have a new one tonight though:
And it's not the names that bother me
But it's the absence of words
The unprovable judgments
Silence falls so much heavier over my head like a concrete vail
Heavier than hurt
Than anger
It's the only thing that weighs more than guilt
I fear the quiet
The lack of noise
I feel uneasy
Something is missing
For once I am left alone with my thoughts and the assumptions of thoughts of others of which I try so hard to ignore
I love music because it takes the weight off of my head
It's like a leash, helping me to not wander around the part of myself I shouldn't see
Silence makes me scared
I hear nothing
The absence of things
How do I know I can hear anymore?
And when I say I fear nothing as a passed off joke
What I truly mean is that I fear the absence of things
Because when you take away everything you don't feel anymore
There's nothing left to feel
But I want to feel the sun on my back
The confidence that rushes through me when I feel loved
The spark that lingers after I hear music
And I don't fear silence because of what is lurking in it
I fear silence because it is nothing at all
