Is silence always easy?

Is silence always easy?

(Dark Thoughts of The Bullied)


It's more than a vacant space

or lack of expression on one's face

It doesn't contain nothing,

'though it's not always solid beings


Is silence easy?

Really?

Dark thoughts are stuck in the brain

driving you insane


It's equal to a silent scream,

struggling to fix reality with a broken dream

with so many words to say,

do they even matter anyway?


Is silence easy?

There's no answer; it's eerie

with beating hearts and stomachs that churn

(thump-thump...thump-thump...)

silently praying you won't get burned


Feeling too much and you're touchy

Some may even bitch about you being a cry-baby

Whatever, they have no idea

They're just poster kids for arrogance and superiority


Is silence easy?

No, but it can be creepy

with something ticking underneath

(tick-tock...tick-tock...)

obvious but out of reach...


...until one day,

silence isn't there anymore

as bodies decorate the floor

with dark red as the main colour

another picture-perfect of pure horror...
