Silence

By Sophia Bishop

I'm suffocating, beneath the wake of silence,

Your words are nothingness, but they cut like a diamond.

Can you not see me, lying beneath this blanket of ice,

I just want you to save me, wouldn't that be nice.

I feel like I am sinking, drowning, losing myself beneath,

reach out, take my hand, save me from this leash.

It tugs, it pulls, it yanks me away,

I do not know if I can last another day.

I'm stuck, trapped in this pitch black hole,

the walls they are covered, blacked out, tinted in darkness like coal.

It aches, it plunges, it sinks like an weight in a bowl,

Its dark, its death, its as black as my soul.

Save me from this place I am locked within,

Was I supposed to be born here, or should I have never been.
