Silence
Many people know different types of silence
For some silence rolls and crashes onto them like waves
Muting the world around them
It's funny how silence works
Once it's really thought about
Silence can help some people forget about their problems
It can bring them peace
For others silence makes them remember their insecurities more
Making them feel even more alone
If someone is in silence for too long their life could be engulfed by it
Too much time is spent waiting for someone
Anyone
To hold their hand
To guide them through their silence
But no one came
If enough time is taken to look around
Silence is everywhere
It surrounds
Waiting for the perfect time to strike
Sometimes it doesn't even strike
But people get hurt anyways
Look at the people around
Sitting near
They could still be sitting in silence
Still waiting
