The silent death of youth (JessicaPosada819) wk-7

The silent death of youth

And that night,

when the lights went down, I knew

I was never gonna be found

I was far from bulletproof

The monsters laughed,

drinking tears as I dropped them by,

They would never be shot down

They were far from holy ground

And the life outside went by,

And my dreams with time

felt like tied up butterflies

that were screaming every time I closed my eyes

"Butterflies don't cry,

they just die", would say some reader drunk on youth

"Don't you hear as life goes by?

Don't you hear her moaning while killing you?

The only things that gets forgotten in silence

are those we'll survive through".
